Welcome!

You are half way there. You will need to spray the latch with some lithium lube and let it sit for a while. Then use a pair of pliers to gently pull on the release rod to open. Once open, finish lubing the latch.

But before anything, is it locked? If so, Try to unlock it from the inside.
