Door stuck locked
So on my recent road trip, my rear passenger side door became stuck in the locked position. When hitting unlock, the little lock knob thing that pops up will move up slightly then immediately go back down. It never goes all the way up.
If I try to pull it up by hand, I can't get it to budge.
Another symptom is that the actual door handle feels less resistance than normal, like the cable has become unattached.
Normally I would pull the panel off like I've done before and look for the problem but.... what do I do if I can't open the door
Is there anything I can do on my own or should I wait until I do my 100k service (next month or so).

to get the door open i rolled down the window, took a pair of vice grips and wrapped the lock knob in a microfiber, pulled up on the lock knob and pulled door handle (outside) open at the same time
