I've had this issue when the seatbelt gets wedged between the door and the frame and the door get shut on it.

With some fennagling (sp), I managed to push on the door just right to get it to open.

Not sure if you are facing a similar issue here. Good question, how do you get the panel off the door without being able to open it. I think you will have to figure out a way to open the door.

It could be a bad latch assembly. Try pulling on both the outside and inside door handles at the same time. If that doesn't work, you'll have to try and get the latch to release through the widow slot using a long screwdriver or similar tool. Otherwise, you'll have to destroy a door panel.

There's some good photos here that should give an idea of how to get into the door without taking the trim off fully here:
