If you pop the back seat bottom out it will give you more room to remove the door panel with the door closed, I'm not saying it will be easy but it is possible I've been there before

found this on another site. it worked. "Thumbs up Update on the locked door I went to my local body shop and he managed to open the door by using the drivers panel unlock switch while using the outside door handle of the locked door. Both had to be done at the same time. After getting back home, I removed the panel and found that the cable for the inside door handle had come loose and was jamming the lock mechanism. The door is now working properly."
