I accidentally bodychecked our gas cap flap in our 2004 last summer, slightly bending something... I don't know if the design changed for the 2008 9-5, but if it is anything like ours... give the gas cap flap a whack from the outside, then go back to the drivers door and push the button again and you should hear a click and it should open. I have to do that nearly every time now... not sure if I need to replace the door or hinges or what - haven't looked into it yet. Doesn't bother me too much and my wife rarely ever puts gas in the car.
You may need to fuss with this a few times initially to figure it out, depending on how bent it is... Or pull the string with the orange tag on that side of the trunk (assuming your car has this).
