On my '07 the key needs to be in the ignition and turned something like 60 degrees for it to drop down inside. Not sure if the '09 is the same way but...is the key in the ignition?

Sorry Gabe, this is one of those jobs where you'll fight it and fight it and, just when you're ready to throw something, it'll fall into place.

Often depends on how it was removed, in what position and that is what needs to be remembered and then returned the same. So if the ignition was in the off position then that is how it must return...I have a feeling you already know this, but hey it may be still worth saying still.
