Everything is frozen. If you can get the vehicle inside you can use a hair dryer to thaw your lock mechanisms. Outside, hot water may just make it worse. If you have access to a de-icer spray it would help.

Use a blow dryer to heat up your car key. Stick the warm car key in the lock and let it sit for 60 seconds to warm up the area. Try turning it a few times and see whether it frees up your door.
Use the blow dryer directly on the key hole and near the door handle if the door still won't open. You will most likely need to attach the blow dryer to an extension cord to do this. Once the lock is warmed up, you will be able to open the door.
Pour rubbing alcohol over the key hole, door handle, and in between the crack of the door. Rubbing alcohol stops water from being able to freeze. Results are almost immediate.

I hope this is helpful to you!
