The same thing happened to my 1984 300SD. I removed the instrument cluster (speedo, tach, fuel guage, etc.). Using a hammer, I tapped firmly on the lock assembly while twisting the key in the tumbler.
My brinks locked in the open position. What do I need to do to get it fixed
You can not close any door if the locking mechanism is stuck in the locked position. You must first get the mechanics to unlock.
If the armrest on a 1992 Suburban is in the locked position and will not unlock, check for a foreign object that might be stuck in the hinge. Sometimes the armrest can lock if the bolt holding it on is too tight.
Latch stuck in locked position? Electric "pull down" not working?
With the key stuck in the accessory position the steering wheel is locked and the gearshift is locked in the park position. Perhaps you should consider having a locksmith change the key cylinder where it is, or else have it towed to the garage.
Possibly kickdown button located under the 'gas' pedal is stuck in the down position.

I bought this car two weeks ago, now the seat belt is stuck in the full retracted position. Can this be released without damage?
A person should replace the power roof fuse to help fix it, if it is stuck open. In the meantime,a Êperson can try to pull it shut with their hand or their tools.Ê
It should lock and unlock with the power door locks. If it is stuck in the locked position, there is a lever in the trunk on the driver's side behind the carpet that will unlock it.
While pulling on the handle as if to open the hatch, take a screw driver and pop the locking mechanism/latch to the open position. It should work no problem.
It means your break pedal switch is stuck is open position. remove the under dash plastic panel and release it with your hand and your car is good to go.
