This is a tricky one. The lock on a VW Golf uses a series of wafers (small brass tumblers) which block the rotation of the cylinder unless the correct key is inserted. If your Golf is newer than 1999, it will have what's called a "sidewinder" style high security key (the cuts are milled onto the sides of the key rather than cut along the top and bottom), and works a little differently.
Either way, there are a couple of things you can try. It might be that the key, but more than likely it is a stuck wafer or something hanging up in the lock. Start by flushing the lock out as best you can with WD-40, and tap on the key with the handle of a screw driver. You can hit it fairly hard, but don't go crazy. Try to remove the key. Be careful not to pry the key out, because you might bend some of the wafers even more. If that doesn't work, the lock needs to come out. The door pannel will have to be removed and the lock removed from the inside. This is probably a job for a locksmith. Be careful not to break the key, it will be expensive to replace if it is one of the newer sidewinder keys.

Does a car alarm go off when the red blinking light is on?
A car that has a alarm will usually have a red light on the instrument panel that when you lock the car with the key fob will come on and stay on for a few seconds. After the alarm is set the light will begin to flash. To test the alarm roll down the drivers window and close all the doors and trunk and on some cars even the hood has to be closed. Lock the doors with your key fob and when the red light starts to blink unlock the door manually by reaching inside to unlock it and open the door from the outside. The alarm should sound. To turn off the alarm use the key fob to unlock the doors.
