Default 95 850 drivers door will not latch closed

So this problem came up yesterday, and I've been having to use a snow shovel to keep my door shut so my battery won't fizz out.
Anyways I jumped in the car after a snowstorm yesterday, and my door would not latch shut. I've tried throwing some WD-40 in it and de-iced the lock but still no dice. I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems and if there were any quick fixes.
The only reason this is a big issue for me is that I'm driving a couple of hours to my family's house today for Thanksgiving, and really would rather not have some McGyver rigged contraption to hold my door closed for the ride down.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you throw the latch with the tip of a screw driver?
