You'll have to take the door card off and release the latch mechanism from the inside. Its bloody fiddly as there is not much room in there. The Door pin, handle and central locking are all joined inside the door with metal connecting rods so it might free up by moving them manually.
You will probably need to remove the passenger side seat to get the card off properly. this is just 4 bolts (17mm I think) so not too tough.

What your friend did shouldn't have caused a problem. It's quite in order to lock a door before closing it.
Have you tried dead locking the drivers door, then unlocking it?
