Chances are the door latch has closed without the door being closed.
Inspect the latch mechanism on the door. I suspect you will find that the latch is in the closed position.
Use a screw driver to take place of the normal jam pin in the latch apply tension ( like the tension that would be present normally opening the door) and actuate the door handle.
Make sure to lubricate once you do get the latch to open.
