need help asap?

Get some wd-40 and spray the latching mechanism. Work the door by opening and shutting it. When it seems to work better use some white lithium grease and lube the latch. There is probably some rust and moisture in the door latch. use the wd-40 to remove the miosture and rust and the white lithium grease is to keep the moisture and rust from coming back. You can get both items at any autoparts store. It will only cost you about ten dollars.

I have a 99f150 and after 5 days of rain it just cranks up on its own with out a key, any help?

On the bottom of the door, you will find weep holes make sure their open so moisture can drain out of door. Spray WD 40 inside the door, using the straw that comes with it. Go between the window and rubber seal and spray, spray in the opening around the door latch, spray in the opening around the door hinges. This will keep moisture from freezing and jamming the lock. Make sure window is up when spraying, or you will have oil all over the glass.

should I change the tires on a car that has been parked outdoors for about two years before driving it?

Well it could be that you have a stick door latch.
after you have the car in heat for 10 min try spraying a little lube or some WD-40 on the door latch and open and shut the door a few times and see what happens.

well...alot of people already gave you the right answer with the wd-40 and the white lithium grease(get the spray grease..you'll be way less frusterated), but you could always do the redneck thing and bungee-strap it shut. It's really cool and chics dig bungee straps
