I also have a '97 wrangler. the door lock started sticking about a year later. When my lock sticks, I push hard on the door with either my hands or shoulder right around the lock area. Pushing the door inwards. After a couple of good shoves, the door lock is freed up. I notice that the lock will stick if I try to open the door without using the key when the door is locked ( forgot it was locked ) 95% of the time, this will make the lock stick. Couple hard pushes later, the lock will un-stick. good luck.
Pull the inside panel off ,and look at the latch itself,that latches the door,and look for the lever that locks the latch,it will be sticking out of the latch,and try and release the lock by moving the lever.
SOURCE: first my drivers door wouldnt shut but i was able to lock it clos
I have a 2003 jeep sahara and experienced the same problem ..........with mine the lock mechanism was stiff and i had to remove the door panel and lube everything and work the locks and the release handles until they worked freely.
hope this helps!

Take the driver door panel off and look at the back side of the lock and see if the arm is attached sounds like it might have come off and is not locking the lock device anymore. thanks Jerry holler if you have more.

One thing... If your last 3 doors works fine it's mean that problem is only in your drivers side. In VW like nickalxjoe wrote is air pump. So there might be an air leaking which you can hear. So if you can hear from where air running out try to fix this first.
