Default Door Latch Stuck in Open Position

My 94' LS400 is having door problems. I don't know if it's because of this newly cold weather or what, but my passenger door has started to not shut. This happened a couple days ago for the first time. When I went to shut the door, it just bounced back towards me. It didn't hit the metal bar the latch latches onto however, because the latch is not in a shut position. It remains open. Somehow the door eventually shut, but now it's remained open since last night. I'm kind of lost as to why the latch doesn't rotate to the close position around the bar when the metal bar is supposed to be pushing against it, as it is definitely open and aligned right. I have sprayed a'plenty of WD40 on it as well as taken a screwdriver and fiddled with the latch + handles in every way. Any help at all?!
Thank you!
