We analyze the B{yields}K{sub 2}*({yields}K{pi})l{sup +}l{sup -} (with l=e, {mu}, {tau}) decay in the standard model and two new physics scenarios: the vectorlike quark model and family nonuniversal Z{sup '} models. We derive the differential angular distributions using the recently calculated form factors in the perturbative QCD approach. Branching ratios, polarizations, forward-backward asymmetries, and transversity amplitudes are predicted, from which we find a promising prospective to observe this channel in future experiments. We update the constraints on effective Wilson coefficients and/or free parameters in these two new physics scenarios by making use of the B{yields}K*l{sup +}l{sup -} and b{yields}sl{sup +}l{sup -} experimental data. Their impact on B{yields}K{sub 2}*l{sup +}l{sup -} is subsequently explored and, in particular, the zero-crossing point for the forward-backward asymmetry in these new physics scenarios can sizably deviate from the standard model. In addition we also generalize the analysis to a similar mode, B{sub s}{yields}f{sub 2}{sup '}(1525)({yields}K{sup +}K{sup -})l{sup +}l{sup -}.
