Door stuck, any help

Plowing the last snow, my water pump gave up the ghost, One of my many trips for water, I got in the truck and pull the door shut, BoInG, it bounced right back open. So in a fit of rage, I slammed it, and it stuck. I found the busted remains of the plastic bushing from the little post on the door frame, does that have name? Now its stuck solid. But the door isn't shut all the way bout 3/8 gap. Any ideas on getting it fixed? I don't know much about the linkage in side there, I got a feeling somthing is bent though. Oh there never was a handle on the inside.

I would try removing the door panel from the inside first. Once you have it off, follow the linkage from the inside handle to the door latch. Try opening the door using the handle so you can see how the linkage works. Then just start tugging on it and try to pop the latch. Basically go through the process of elimination and you should find the problem. Good luck!
