Try Cassell method first , If it didn’t work ,follow the below method, because I had the same problem couple of weeks when my wife locked the door with part of kids school bag in the tailgate.

If you are handy with spanners you remove the whole panel from inside the car with the guidance posted in the below thread.

You have to release the cable (the one with yellow plastic clip) from the latch and push the cable inside towards the lock – By doing this other end of the cable will hit the lock latch inside & the lock mechanism will be released and you can open the door from inside.
Remember to push in and out the cable for like 1 inch only - at some point the cable will hit that latch inside the lock.


Hope I explained clearly- If not please ask.

Saravan.
