On my 74, purchased new in Illinois, when the large part of the opening for
the key lock is pointing down, my trunk is locked.

On a 71 the trunk is locked with key teeth pointing down.
The button will move maybe 1/16th or so even with trunk locked.
Try soaking around that button with your favorite rust buster spray???

Sounds to me like you do not have the correct key for the trunk lock. Have =
a locksmith see if he can do his magic on the lock before you get frustrate=
 and do damage.
