Can't get Pass. door open

Well, I ended up finally getting the door open.I sprayed a lot of aerokroil into the door jamp and slowly pryed the door open from the inside with the handle pulled, it came free.
Turns out the spring that kickes the latch open was rusted up and wouldn't let it move freely.
Once i got it open I worked it back and forth cleaning and spraying it everytime and finally worked it free!! Finally, now I can finish cleaning it out. Thanks for the help guys.....I did try the jack idea, the kicking and the tapping with a hammer, I'm sure they all helped somehow...haha :cheers:
