1. Take door handle off
2. Apply lots of grease to trigger and mech
3. put door handle back on
4. Open door :)

This worked for my rear door handle that had the exact problem you described, needing a realy hard squeeze to open then after a while not working at all.  Just got a tub of thick grease from Halfords, nowt special.
