Keys were left in ignition, car not running, but the doors auto locked and even Mercedes mechanic can't get into the car to retrieve the key. The spare key remote will not work to unlock the doors (presumably because the key inside is in the ignition). Valet key does not work.

Your going to have to break into the vehicle. This is possible with a set of break in tools. Specifically you will need a hook tool to get under the the door glass and into the vehicle, you will then need to grab the handle with the end of the hook. This is very tricky. Come to think of it you probably would be better off calling the 1800 # for mercedes roadside service. When I was just starting as a roadside tech break ins where part of all new vehicle training. This might be your best bet.
