I think, if the panel is still on, that you'll only be able to pull out the interior door release latch. If you can, see if you can get the release mechanism to operate without the handle and maybe you can jar it that way.

Just so we understand, you're locked out then without any way to get back in?

Hopefully you're not locked in with no way to get out... :o

Roll the window all the way down, get a slim jim or somthing similiar, coat hanger, look down in there and pull the release mechanism from between the window scrapers, should open that way, then you can take the door panel off and find the exact problem and fix it. I'm guessing the plastic clips that hold the handles to the locking mech. are broken off.

Of course this is all assuming your body is strait and the door is not wedged.
