You can see how that bend in the rod would keep it from coming out all the way, and I'd bet it would let you pull it up about 8". You'll have to get inside the door to see what's going on.
Most door panels come off pretty easily---there are usually screws in the armrest and inside the pull handle area; otherwise most panels pop off with little snaps (which sometimes break and need replacement with a trip to your local auto parts store), and some panels require lifting UP after unsecuring all the screws and snap fasteners. There's usualy a plastic moisture barrier behind the panel which you have to remove--be sure to re-tape this when you're done.
Sounds like your "lift rod" has come apart from the door lock--usually these rods are held in place by little metal clips--which you might find have fallen on the bottom of the door.
