See if you can run a coat hanger between the window & doorframe to snag onto the locking mechanism so you can slimjim your door open. If not, then find a family member or friend with a AutoClub Card. The AutoClub card can get you access to a locksmith at a lower rate than normal.
Anyhow, hope this helps.
