Driver seat rail stuck all the way back!

Help, I've slid back and I can't get up!

I moved my seat back all the way to clean/vacuum under it. Now it's stuck all the way back. When I pull up on the handle, the two pins on each side retract up and out of the lower rail. But when I try to move the seat forward, there's a hard stop on the right side. There's a good chance something fell down in the track jamming it, but I can't find anything or see anything looking with a flashlight down the rails. I'm wondering if something isn't retracting far enough or perhaps there's another pin, latch or something that's not retracting when it's supposed to?

Most of you wouldn't worry about this, but I'm only 5'6" and my legs are even short for being short! I'm fresh out of Elton John platform shoes. What's a guy to do?

Anyone else have a problem with their seat being stuck at some point on the rail? Suggestions?

Thanks!

Doc. It's hard to move the seat when someone is not sitting in it. If you are sure the rails are clear. get someone to sit in the seat (best a big ol guy) to jiggle it forward while holding up on the handle.

Good luck getting it loose. A2Jack.
