Jerk the door upwards or loosen the hinge bolts and adjust accordingly.

put a piece of wood on the lower door hinge and push close the door in to adjust the door up.

Your body might be out of alignment too, which might be a problem? I remember you telling me that your car was in a slight accident? Well my car had the same problem but it was because the body was off...
