Mine aren't that bad yet - just tempermental. Fortunately I already
have the door panel off -- Sean handed it to me when I bought the
car.

I never tried to get out the passenger's side - just assumed that door
was locked, too. I considered it, but then I got the driver's door
open. And yes, I know the feeling of finally gulping air on the
outside. I was never claustrophobic, but feeling trapped wasn't
much fun.
