Unless you are really small, you should be able to compress it with your body weight.

Once it it compressed, hold it that way with some bailing wire.

Get in the trunk. Cover the latch with a rag so you can't get locked in!

Lower the lid so the compressed strut fits the gap. Cut the bailing wire.
