Insert the key and turn it to the left while holding the button underneath, it should come out. Turn the hole thing around until you find the slot. Good luck, mine got stuck too. Just keep foolin with it, it will come out.

Whoops, I misread your PM and didn't realize that you had the button pushed down and stuck, I thought you were still trying to align the tumblers. Anyhow, like stated above....a lil foolin' and push the tab underneath again and it should come off. I've done that before too.
