Default HELP! Ignition switch won't come out

I have a '99 Electra Glide Classic that I am trying to install a Kuryakyn Double Rocker Switch in. Problem I'm having is that the ignition switch doesn't want to release. I have followed the proper procedure for removal (turned to fork lock, press button under block, turn key left) but it doesn't want to come out. I have had it off in the past (about 2 yrs ago) but now it won't come off. Anybody encounter this before or have any insight?
