How can I charge the battery if I can't open any doors or the trunk?

Help ..

What do I do?
EDIT: never mind...I reread your post and see that you were crawling through the window and other doors.
What do you mean by "driver's side door isn't working"? Are you saying that the lock was already known to be broken? Or are you saying you inserted your key into the lock cylinder & turned it counter clockwise to the position you'd normally turn it to unlock it electronically...and nothing happened?

If you did the 2nd thing above...then try re-inserting your key into the driver's door lock cylinder and turning the key at least 90° counter clockwise (past the position that would normally open it electronically) to the manual unlock position.

It may take a "little" force if you've never maintained/lubricated the lock cylinder...because you are manually actuating the lock and physically moving the pin upward to the unlock position:
