There are two screws, which you need to take out. Once you've taken them out pull the nob out of the door. There will be either a square hole or a almost round hole with a straight side to it, almost a half moon. Take a flat headed screwdriver or anything that will fit into the hole and turn it either direction to open the latch. If you do not a have Phillips and flat headed screwdriver, then it will be a slow process with a dinner knife.

Chances are, the lock is broken or the door has warped.
You may have to take everything apart with a screwdriver.
Sometimes it's not obvious, there may be a little part to push.
If you can get the knob off, slide the bolt back from the frame.
Another possibility is to remove the pins from the hinges.
You'll need a hammer & screwdriver or crow-bar.

there sould be screws on the inside of the door handle and just unscrew those and then wiggle the knob and then maybe you should be able to get out?

Climb out the window. Then go to a locksmith and get them to come and repair the door.

Go out the back door and open it from the outside.
