Prying the door open is not the first thing that should have been done. The mechanism for the tape transport is having a problem in that it either need service or the belt is too loose. A Technician would open the deck get the mechanism in the stop mode and then eject the tape. Any other way just damages the unit and might make it unrepairable.
SOURCE: Left Deck Door Stuck Shut on Cassette Deck
The cassette mechanism has a large gear that rotates to different
positions for the different modes. On time around is a play -
stop cycle. It is stuck in one position and won't come around to
the stop spot. Need to take the cover off and help it to turn to
get the cassette out. Then figure out if something is wrong
preventing it from turning or if the wheel driving it is the
problem. They are all a little different so this is where your
mechanical apptitude comes in.
By the way, you'll figure out right away they don't intend these things to be fixed.
Hope Ya Fix It.

Drives belt has become too slack to drive mechanism properly or the drive motor is bad. Have unit serviced for new belt(s)

i had the same problem of not opening the cassette doors and not running with my sony tc wr535. After I repaced the belts myself with new ones it did run fine! :-) An original sony(!) rubber belt set for the two decks costed me 23 euroos incl pp.
SOURCE: cannot get cassette doors to eject
the motor that drives the mechanism is jammed or burnt out.if you remove the cover and turn the big metal weights driven by the motor,the unit will dock the assembly and the door should open.
it thinks it is playing a tape and that is why the eject doesnt work
