A little more detail: the knob should pull out (it’s quite stiff - more innuendos!) and turn so that the pointer in in the red, when it should lock. Make sure that the key is in the unlocked position (try both as I can’t remember which way is unlocked). When you then push the tow hitch back into its housing, it should spring locked as the balls are released. The pointer should now be in the green section and you should be able to turn the key and remove it.
If you don’t get any luck, I’ll get mine out and photograph each stage. If it’s not moving, then loads of WD40 might be in order, left to soak overnight.
