Geting in!!!

[passat1]

I shut my drivers door yesterday in the same fashion as I normally do, locked the car and went for a surf, came back unlocked the car and the drivers door handle is not working..... wont let me in, so now having to open the rear door and and awkwardly reach to open the drivers door from the inside!!!!!
Is there an easy fix?
Is it door card off and fix? or
return to the garage (for the 100th time on this car!) for them to fix?

Any ideas would be very helpfull.

thanks bart.
