How do I get the sliding ashtray cover to move - stuck!

My damm ashtray cover is stuck open and short of getting a crowbar out I can't get it to release and close again.

Anyone know how?

the sliding mechanism might be stuck. try pushing it in hard like bushburn suggested. Else check to make sure nothing is jaming it. Failing that a trip to the dealer is required
