It is tricky to get inside the door panel and release the stuck latch. The door locking assembly will need to be replaced. You will need to remove the door panel and reach up to where the locking assembly is. With a long screwdriver you could force the door to open and as soon as I get my computer back from the repair shop, I can E-mail you the exploded view.
