Try lifting the handle whilst turning the key.
All the lock does,really,is dis-connect the mech between the handle and the latch.
Once you have gained access,strip the door card off,remove the latch from the door jamb,clean and lubricate all piviots that you can see,work the mech by hand until it is light and smooth in operation.
Replacement lock cylinders are available as a 'repair kit',what you get is a bag of bits to enable you to build up a replacement cylinder to match your key.In the UK these cost about £20.
