Answer
Ok, here's a way to get into your car.
You will need to have a rag to protect the finish, and a fairly large screwdriver, and a couple of coat hangers.
use the screwdriver to pry the door open at the top enough to get the coat hanger to go in.
You will have to bend the coat hanger so you can reach the lock on the inside of the door and flip it to the unlocked position.  In extreme cases it will be necessary to twist two coat hangers together in order to make them rigid enough to unlock the vehicle.  Sometimes it only takes 30 seconds, and other times it takes fifteen minutes of frustrating "almosts".
