Yes, first I managed to open up the door, and then I pulled out the door panel, as there is no way you can pull off the door panel with the door closed.
I hope that will work for u too. Lock/unlock with remote one one hand and the other trying to open the door from outside. I didn't try do that from inside just in case the door pull handle may brake. But u can try inside and while u pulling the door pull, try to push against the door to open!?
Let us know what happen. Good luck
