There's a guide on how to deal with it.

Do yourself a massive favour and sort the problem BEFORE it jams up completely, something that makes both fixing it and moving the car (if necessary) very difficult.

Some years ago we had this problem and called out the AA, they put a mole grip on it and just forced it :-/ :-/ but it worked and for a couple of years swmbo carried a mole grip in the car..... :D :D :D
