hmm, that's a good one. You prolly won't be able to force the door open from the inside because the action of pulling the handle also pushes the locking **** up. If the **** won't go up, the handle won't pull out and the door won't open. Seems to me like you're gonna have to break something to get it...

Try and see if you can pull just the bezel for the door handle out. If you can get the bezel out, you might be able to reach a hanger, your fingers, etc. in and put the lock **** back in it's place.

If it's just the door lock rod, the one that sticks up through the door panel, you shouldn't need it. If your power locks work you should be able to unlock it that way. Maybe I understood this all wrong.
