I had to do this once with a Datsun (yes back when they were called that).
The locks were a kind that you pull up and were replaced with ones that
you couldn't hook and all the windows closed right.  I pulled the door
open a crack between the top of the door and body, pushed a fishing spear
that I happened to have handy in, hooked the keys on the barb and pulled
them out.
