I had that happen in my 2.5 RS once or twice. It sucks. I think it was because it was cold and the pin wouldn't release the lid. I believe I wound up spraying it with a de-icer.

With my STI and Forester this might have happened, also, but that was before I knew about bending the tab. So, my advice to you is to go ahead and just BEND THAT TAB. Only a tiny bit, though. It doesn't need to be much.
