Remove door panel and replace latch mechanism

Get a new car you loser.
sounds like a bad door latch mechanism.
Remove the side panel and manually depress the plastic latch on the tape cassette. Remove the cassette and shut the door again. You may have to push the latch a bit to get it to close right.
On many vans/cars I have seen the latch on the door itself sometimes get tumbled into the shut position on accident. In most cases all you need is a screw driver to put into the latch hole on the door itself while pulling on the door handle simply flip the latch back open. If this is not the case please clarify your question. The door jam has a male stiker the door latch is female or should be open to allow the striker to go inside it once the door is shut the latch wraps around the striker.

Just going by the question...I would say that the latch has gotten in "the closed door position". Be sure that the door is unlocked. With your finger lift out on the latch on the end of the door and use the door handle to "open" the door latch.
door open from inside or outside
My husband fixed ours with a window latch, it cost 3 dollars, he put it by the door handle, the swivel part on the door and the latch part on the dryer. When you close the door you latch it shut. It has never opened again. So nice.
Often the latch has been closed and the door won't catch until the latch is popped back. Use a screwdriver or other tool, make sure the door is unlocked then operate the inside door handle and open the latch lever with the screwdriver.
