It sounds a little funny, but this is what I'd try: Have someone crawl in from the other side, and give the door a healthy bump with their shoulder while you're holding the outside latch open. If you can get the door open, I'll bet your latch/lock is OK. Your problem is with your door hinges, not your latch. If they are worn, they allow the door to sag, and bind up on the latch. With the door open 6" to 8", pull up and down it. If it moves up and down more than 3/4", you need hinges
