Just did some more googling of "mr2 stuck door" and found this.
Sounds like the exact problem, but still doesn't really tell me how to get the door open.

Hopefully the mechanic will get time to have a go while he's got her there fixing the oil leak.

Thanks Red.
She's been at mechanic to get oil leak fixed.  They said if they had time they'd have a look at the door.  Unfortunately they didn't have time.

Try disconnecting the battery, then use the key to unlock the door, then try to open it.  Without power the door should be just like any other car door. 
 
If that doesn't work then something is broken or fallen off inside.  The little plastic end to the locking or opening link the most likely cause.

I don't have remote looking. Always use key.

Thanks for that, but it was looking like that bit was all ok.  The key was turning, both doors locking & unlocking & the rods were moving. Plus it is more difficult to get into that that pic.  There is a plastic cover thingy.  I think it an anti-theft piece or something.  so that people can't get a coat hanger in there.

She is at a Toyota dealership as we speak, hopefully they can sort it out.

Yaayy (sort of).  they got the door open & are still working on it, so that I can use it,  the girl couldn't tell me at this stage whether they needed any parts yet.

Door opens & closes. yaayyyy.
When I got in I realised that they hadn't put the door card back on tho. 
I was running short of time, so couldn't wait for them to do it.
They recommended a new lock so possibly thought I'd be back for them to do it.  But for over $500 I don't think so.

Yaayyyy.  All fixed & put together. 
 
Drove around in borrowed ADUB or BMW for a week or did the Daisy Duke to get her to & from repairers. Then 3 weeks driving around without door card on drivers door.
