The next part will require that you fumble a little till you are reach the knob and are able to push it through to the end.

Take a tennis ball and punch a hole through it so that there is a vacuum created when you press it against the lock. Then press it against the keyhole and push hard so that the pressure is able to push the jammed lock through and lead to a release.

This is one of the best means to ensure that even if you are locked out of the car, there is just no stress that follows.
