You can gently push on the door to break the seal, or you could also heat with a hair blower , or, and the best of all, start your car remotely and let the heat melt that ice away. I don't have a remote start so it looks like I will be either blowing or heating this winter. Blah. Happy Holidays.
"Car doors freeze shut when water seeps between the seal and the car frame, or into the lock itself. To get inside your car, you'll need to dissolve the ice with heat, or with a solvent such as alcohol..." Read more here: https://www.wikihow.com/Open-Frozen-Car-Doors
My problem was always unlocking with my key. Finally covered keyhole so no snow/melting ice would get in to freeze door mechanism in both front doors.
This is definitely important for the winter cold-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGL-EIb2cZw
Years ago, you could get the slim sample size hairsprays. I lived in AK so I know it works.
If you have remote start just start the car. Try using a hair dryer around the door. You really only need to get one door open then you can start the car and let the others warm up
You can get lockease and silicone spray at WAlmart for little of nothing. .and use heat in your gas tank and try to keep it full that helps
