    Keep trying with the key, there's a sweet spot you need to hit, also might need to pull door to you, jiggle handle at same time.
    Have another good search for the key in the room, it might be in there.
    If you can try taking the pins off the hinges.
    If safe to do so, try to come out the window
    If all else fails call someone you know to come round to help you out they can get a ladder to help you out the window, ye can take it from there then.

    Only one thing for it. Squeeze the mattress out the window to make a soft landing and then make a rope with the sheets.

    If it locked , then it’ll open. Keep jiggling the key , lean against the door and try pulling the door while doing it. The hole in the frame and the lock mightn’t be aligned and the part that sticks out might be stuck against the frame

    Little Captain Hindsight like advice here folks, if you're ever testing the lock in an unfamiliar door, do it when the door is in the open position, rather than the closed.

    Did you try the key that locked the bedroom door in the en suite door, just to confirm your theory from the 1st post.

    I’m assuming nobody downstairs and front/back door locked? If so do you have house keys on you? If so, call a friend/neighbour, drop them the keys out the window and get them to kick door in from outside. A lot easier than from inside as the only point of resistance is the lock which will give under not much pressure whereas from inside, you’ve the door stops to contend with also.

    Seeing as it's the bedroom, some lube on the key and a bit of jiggling may give you release

    Listen stick with learning how to pick a lock. It’s a skill that could really open doors for you.

    Clearly never watched The A-Team, which in itself warrants self incarceration.

    Not sure how what someone drinks can make them interesting or not. Or was that "joke" number 4?

    Maybe I missed the post, but I'm surprised that oil hasn't been mentioned. Put some oil on the key and try and work it into the lock - it can really make a difference. As for what you might have in the bedroom, maybe an oil based beauty cream, lube or something similar - whatever you can find. Use the least viscous one you can find.
