You don't have to push hard on the spring loaded pin, and you shouldn't have to force anything to get it out. It will be easier to do if you screw the chrome bezel back on snug.

I guess I got it that extra part of a turn with my untrained wiggling. I've probably replaced 5 ignition switches in my 45 years of working on vehicles.
