Do you mean, you close the lid and it won't shut all the way so won't latch?
In other words, you're not talking about a key-locking problem?
If so, it sounds like the latch that's on the tailgate bottom edge needs your attention. It has a sort of C-shaped opening that normally faces towards the car body as you close the door. Once shut, it swings about 90 or 120 degrees and so grabs onto the bolt on the car body.
It's possible that someone manually swung that C-latch thing shut (as if the door is shut) when the door was open. So now it can't latch when you close it. Find that thing with the door lifted up, and push on it with a screwdriver blade or a finger. You can swing it out into normal "open" position, and you'll be all set when you shut the door.
IF, on the other hand, it's an issue of not being able to lock the door with the key or using the power locks, then you may be looking at an electrical problem. Or possibly the linkage inside the door has come loose. It's a bunch of lever rods and other parts held together with clips made of spring sheet metal. As I started to say, more info please?
