Default Gas door lock stuck in lock position

So how do you guys recommend fixing this broken lock? We somehow managed to pry the door open yesterday when we got to the gas station. It locked smooth, but when I tried to unlock it, the key won't budge. Is there anyway to remove this lock? How do I go about doing that? I was going to try and pop off that plastic piece covering it, but was afraid of clips breaking as it wasn't going to do it willingly. Thanks guys.

Yeah, in my del sol it's got a lock next to the release next to the drivers seat. I'm pretty sure people were stealing my gas so I locked it. It locked fine. Next time I went to fill up, it wouldn't unlock?? I didn't know what to do, so I just pulled it open after some difficulty. Can I just remove this lock next to the release? Or is it all messed up until I can fix it? I guess I can just tape the button closed so it doesn't catch the actual door?
