Not 100% sure but my 850 has a pin that goes through a lever on the door. Maybe it is getting stuck because the lever is bent or something. Put a little pressure on it (in pressure) then have someone push the release then let it go and see if that will help it get un-stuck.
Once you get it open, you may want to leave it open until someone fixes it.

Fuel Filler Door Won't Open
This happened to me while out of state on a business trip. Thank goodness I had enough gas to get me to a local Volvo dealership and they were able to help me by doing the following.
1. Put your key in the driver's side door and turn it to the left TWICE.
2. Then turn the key to the right TWICE.
According to the gentleman at the dealership, these two steps "reset the system" and I was then able to push the release button and the door was unlocked.
It has happened to me more than 3 times since then and doing the previous steps fixes the problem every time.
I hope this will work for everyone who comes into this unfortunate delimma.

As you discovered, there is a pull cord in trunk next to the filler door that will manually release the door. I replaced fillor door lock unit on my 2004 S60 recently. When you drive the vehicle, the filler door lock is supposed to lock and the release button is supposed to release the lock unit. Since you released the lock manually, check to see if the door relocked when you drove the vehicle. If it didn't, it could be the lock motor is defective and needs replacement. If it did relock, and the release won't work, then it's some other problem with the electrical system that releases the lock motor.

THANK YOU!! We were not fortunate to have enough fuel to get to a dealer and desperately needed to get our locked fuel door unstuck. This worked immediately and saved us. Your nearly ten year old post was our life saver 😊
