    Is it a key for remote central locking? or the key with the mini torch? If its for the torch one just put a 1c coin in the groove and twist. The battery is a wierd one tho, a bit like a watch battery, but not standard. If you have trouble finding one, try watch shops, and chemists (similar batterys go in hearing aids).

    If its for the central locking key, eh, best of luck.

    By torch i mean light. Its the small bulb thing under the key you mentioned. In general, if your car came with this type of key, it has central locking, but not remote central locking, so replacing the battery will only make the light work and help you find the lock barrell in the dark.
