I had a similar problem with my driver side door during the winter. During a certain combination starting the car with the remote starter, unlocking the door, and not stepping on the brake pedal to disable the remote starter, the door thinks someone is trying to break into the car. As a result, the door can't be opened for a few hours. I just had to wait it out.

However, if the latch is stuck, you're not in a good shape. I hear of a guy who had to cut-out the internal panel to get to the latch and lock mechanism. I don't know if anyone has a tool to do that without cutting.
