Ok , threw me there for a bit , you're talking a mini K with the clubman doors (black flat pull back handle in a chrome surround rather than a door handle that looks similar to a window winder) aren't you . The interior door handle is surrounded by a black plastic trim that comes apart into two bits , with that removed the door card will fit over the door handle without needing to remove the handle from the rods . There are a couple of push in clips on the door card (not sure where from memory ) and once you have removed the window winder and have the door handle unscrewed , start gently prising the door card out from the bottom till you see where it's stuck with the clips , then put the flat of a large screwdriver behind the clip area and gently pop it out of the door . keep going till it's only held in by the top fold of the door and then ease it over the door handle . Also check if a previous owner has put screws into the door cards anywhere .
