My passenger side sliding door lock is stuck in the locked position with the door open. Consequently I can't shut the door.

Hello

If you are describing what I think you are, the latch is closed and it hits the c-clamp part that it is supposed to lock on that is connected to the car.
Take a screw driver and when you depress or open the door handle, take the screw driver and push open the lock on the side of the door that would go around the c-clamp like you would be opening the door. The lock or bolt should rotate up.
