Its quite a common problem on the rear doors heres what you need to do

 

remove the door card. Its awkward with the door shut but can be done

once removed follow the rod to the door lock and remove the white plastic cover

now try to look into the door and you'll see the insides of the lock.   Use a screwdriver and push the lever down on the inside of the lock and the door will open. replace the lock with a different one.

 

Im assuming you havent got a child lock on

the car was like this when i got home, i wouldnt know if the child lock is on or not dont they open from the outside with child lock on?
