It has happened to me in the past as well. Just be careful when you pry on the mech that you don't mess up the door. Sometime's the cause is the catch U that is the on the frame. The two screws come loose and it sticks the door up.
Take your time.

Also, try taking of the fender and removing the bolts that hold the hinges. You might need more hands for this. With some hold the front of the door at a different angle may free the lock.

I eventually got the door open, my problem was due to the child lock being activated...
Can't remember exactly how I undid it, but i remember i had to remove the door upholstery " which was very hard to do when the door is closed, then i had to use a wire or screwdriver "can't remember" to fish and pull up the child lock, and the door opened :thumb:
