try pulling on the handle while using a screw driver to actuate it.
The Pontiac Grand Prix door latch has adjustments to move the latch up and down and in and out. Loosen the adjustment screws. Keep moving the latch in one direction or the other, until the door catches the latch.
Usually if you loosen the screws on the latch receiver mounted on the cab edge, the latch can be shifted up/down or front/back.
two screws hold ther door latch in place just loosen and it can be moved up/down and side to side
install a new latch
Try spraying the latch mechanism with WD-40. Work the latch a few times and then spray it again.
you just have to push up on the latch
Your door latch is not functioning properly or your "Door Ajar" switch isn't functioning. Try WD40 in the door latch. If that doesn't work, you may have to remove the latch assembly and clean it, then work it manually for a while my ranger took about 30 minutes to free up the latch spring.
If I understand you right the door is opened and won't close because the latch is tripped. Lift up on the door handle and take your finger or a screw driver and move the latch to the open position
If the door will not close on a 1994 Ford Thunderbird unless the latch is flipped up, the latch is gummed up. Spray the latch with WD-40 or Liquid Wrench to free up the latch mechanism. A door that is out of alignment will also cause this type of problem. Check the hinge and inspect for cracks that might allow the door to droop.
If you're talking about the trailer door, you move the metal latch up, move the handle up then left or right, depending on what door until the door is unlocked, move it back into the holder and latch it on side of the trailer.

you pull UP on the handle to latch the door, may have to pull hard. Slamming may latch also but is not the correct way.
