The problem is often that the handle is sticking and has not returned to the fully "down" position, i.e. it is already halfway "up" and therefore won't pull "up" on the locking mechanism.
The solution on my Outback is to push the handle down, and I can usually feel it engage. Then just pull up and the door opens.
Many Outback (and Legacy and Forester) owners lube the handle occasionally. So far I have always had success just pushing it down so I haven't bothered to lube it. If it gets so stuck that it won't push back down, then I'll lube it with wd-40 or something else.
