the standard Ford door latch is at the back of the door at a 45 degree angle. the rod and bushing are worn and bent because of the angle. take the inside panel off. disconnect the rod from the operating handle by opening the orange latch on the plastic connector. if it breaks buy a new connector or get some 6mm nuts and pipe strap and a bolt with nuts and make a new connector. grab the operating rod connected to the latch with vice grips and hammer 3 raps forward to get the rod back in the latch lever and push it back to release the latch. clean latch with wd and then spray with white grease. adjust the operating rod to give it enough travel to avoid doing all this again. grdbrg
and pull up on the latch with your finger and push out on the back side of the door it may take a few times but should open after you get it open put some oil or wd40 on the latch and around the lock to get things moving good this should work

Try pulling it harder, if that doesn't work you are going to need a hammer. Lightly hit the jammed area, make sure it is only on the frame though. Odds are it has slid out of place and the hammer will hit it back in making it slide able again :)
