Crawl in the back, pull up in the door lock plunger while at the same time pulling the inside door handle mechanism.

Or have someone pull on the outer handle while pulling up on the plunger.

Assuming the door is unlocked, try pushing the door in really hard before/while pulling the handle from the outside. I've seen where there is so much tension on the latch/lock mechanism that it just won't release.
