If all obvious attempts fail, try the following:

As hard as you can.

remove the interior door panel. you will see a metal rod connecting your interior and exterior door handles. most of the time the rod comes loose from one or the other. reconnect the rod. theres not much space so you might need a pair of needlenose pliers. if that still doesnt work inside the door to the rear is a trip lever that after pulling will open the door. the lever can be stubborn but it will open the door. any service center should be able to open it for you.
If the door is jammed shut, it will not be possible to remove the door trim on most cars without destroying it. However, if you are able to roll the window down you should be able to insert a thin piece of metal (ie. wire coat hanger, slimjim etc.) and manipulate the door handle rod inside to pop it open. This is possible only if the reason behind the jam is mechanical and not structural.

If a car door is not jammed shut but it gives you trouble when opening will some kind of lubricant help?
How are the hinges? If the door drops down when opened, then the hinges are worn out. If the hinges are fine, then adjustment to the striker/bolt assembly is needed. This is very simple, and once you take a look at it, you'll see what to do.
If a girl opening her door in a parking lot put a dent in your door as you were pulling in to the next space who is at fault?
I would say you both have the responsibility to watch out for each other's lives and possessions. The person opening the door should have been aware of being in a parking area and therefore should have anticipated wether a car was coming or not. The person driving the car should have known that people in a parking area move around cars to either get to their car or move from it. A person opening a car door is a much occurring action. I would say the person opening the door is most likely to be blamed since he/ she had to take more precautions.

If your car is parked and you open the door and someone hits your door with their car who is at fault?
Technically it would be your fault as you are not supposed to put parts of your car into the path of a car. Having said this, no accident is ever 100% someone's fault. In Wisconsin you are 10% at fault just for being there.As the answer above stated, it is your responsibility to look for oncoming cars before opening your door. The only situation in which there may be an exception to this is if you were in a parking lot and the other car pulled in beside you after you had already begun opening your door.
