I got stuck in mine a while back and I could feel the latch working when I pulled the handle. The problem was that one of the extra studs above and below the striker had had unscrewed itself with road vibrations and was interfering with the door frame. Fortunately, it had not gone very far and after using the fire escape I was able to pry the door frame out enough to get the door open and remove the stud.
Yeah, I've seen that happen as well, only fortunately, just enough to cause a bind that could be overcome with a bit of extra opening effort. Reinstalling the stud with Loctite thread locker cured the problem.
If the OP gave us a little more information, we could likely be more helpful in addressing his specific problem.
