Your car door latch could be either frozen if your in a cold climate or just turned into the latched position. With car door open lift handle to free latch. Now turn latch ( a curved metal assembly with a spring ) to the open position. You will know it is positioned rite when you can see the opening in this curved assembly. Now close door as usual. If assembly is frozen, you may have to repeat this proceedure several times or apply some heat , possably a hair dryer to latch mechanism to free it up. Hope this was helpful Bill in upstate NY
