I'm assuming that the door is stuck because the locking motor died, i had the same problem. When it first started dying i snapped the latch on the fuel door off so it wouldn't get stuck. but i think there is a manual release, i have a wagon and on that same side of the fuel door in the car under the carpet ( if you have a wagon its under the right side under the panel next to the spare tire and further back i believe there is a little wire ring and if pull it i think it is a manual release but not positive.
