Major Oil pump problem?

I went to change my distributor this morning and upon trying to instal the new part the oil pump did not line up. As usual, I stick a long flathead down inside to line up w/ the new distributor. I could not move it an all either way. It felt very stuck. The weird thing is I had great oil pressure prior to taking anything apart. Was I just not turning it hard enough? Any ideas on this problem would be appreciated.

Try bumping the engine over with distributor in and see if the pump shaft turns, disconnect coil wire so it doesn't try to fire.

It should turn with no difficulty, is the screw driver perhaps too fat and getting wedged in the intake or block opening?
