Yes you need to open the car with the key blade as stated above.
Air dry it as much as possible.
You say it was flooded by heavy rain, but does this mean the rain got into the car somehow by falling on it and penetrating seals or through an open window or was it submerged in flood waters?
If it was submerged, the rule of thumb insurers use in that if the car has been submerged to the door sills, they will write it off. (too damaged to repair)
A completely inundated electrical system is almost impossible to dry completely due to water penetrating the electrical conduits and even if you do get it going, they will almost certainly corrode and break down later on.
If it's just been wet from above then making sure the ECU etc is dried out and liberal use of WD40 or some other water displacement oil on connectors etc could get it going.
