Answer
Michael,

It is not going to be pretty.  But, you need someone to get inside and open the door and push while you have a person on the outside pulling, with the window down.  If this fails, you are going to need a pry bar and damage to the car will result by wedging, from the inside, where the seatbelt is, to aid in prying the door open.  Not pretty at all.  I have had to do this and gentle is the key to forcing the door open and keeping damage to a minimum.
