I recently had this very problem.
Your door lock actuator is acting up, which will require the interior door panel to be removed for servicing. This is a VERY difficult job to do with a locked door, so my suggestion is to keep trying to unlock that door.
In my case, it took almost a month but one day (for no apparant reason) it decided to unlock. I IMMEDIATELY took it to my indy, who got it fixed with no damage or problems. Parts and labor cost about 300 bucks.
good luck, I feel your pain!

I was lucky and the door for some reason unlocked. I believe it was the cold night, that is when it open. Next question is to remove the door panel is there something tricky with the side air bag?
