Although, I believe the OP was able to insert the other key and now the KEY is stuck in the lock also which should not have happened either.
Guess I got lucky, when replacing the locks on our TT it has two doors so we REQUESTED to have both door locks keyed alike so same key opens both locks one both doors..
OP may have to break off the key, then drill out the lock and hope they can jimmy it into the unlocked position..
Not sure if it is a "Trimark" but there was a thread a long time ago which mentions those had a tendency to self destruct in the locked position..
Found a thread on it..

I suspect OP will have to resort to surgical removal of the entire latch/lock assembly which will destroy the entire assy in the process.
