The next time you can unlock the door and get it open, remove the interior door panel so you have access to everything, and leave it off. Then if the stuck lock situation becomes permanent, you can get in there and repair it.

I didn't do this and after the occasional warnings appeared, had a permanently stuck-locked-closed rear door on my S90 with no way to remove the panel and attempt repairs. I eventually sold the car like that - at a discount. Besides, it's not safe to have a door that cannot be opened.

With the panel removed you can operate the linkages by hand, while perhaps disconnecting them one at a time to see where the stuck part is.
