The door is probably out of adjustment. Press the button and while you are doing that have some one pull on the door. Once it is open bend the metal tab on the door outwards and it should work fine.

sometimes the plastic strap that holds the gas cap gets looped around the notch that holds the door in. you have to do what the above post says and have someone unhook the strap...used to happen to me all of the time for some reason.

The door opens to the right as your pushing it in on the right corner or pulling it on the left side to the right.....
