Got to sypathise with you.
Mine is an absolute bastard to take off and refit sometimes. Been stood at the roadside for over 30 minutes trying to put it back.

+1 on pushing down on the seat, right over the latch, while turning the key.
I've done this before, and it's worked.
Also, if you store stuff back there, under the seat, sometimes that can screw with the latch. I have a manual back there, and sometimes my hat, etc.
