Follow the actuating rod to the latch and then use a large screwdriver to move it and have an assistant pull the handle from the outside.

Spray the latch doen with PB blaster. Sometimes the door latch is in between lock and unlock for the linkage being tight. You can free up the moving parts of the latch with a screwdriver. If you get the door open you can remove the latch and soak it in penetrating oil.
