 It's wedged very tightly onto a taper.. get yourself above it, exert enormous upward force, and wiggle a little. When it suddenly lets go, you and it will punch yourself very hard with both fists in the mouth  Actually, get somebody else to do it.

I had a fun time trying to release mine by hand. Resorted to a piece of 2 x 1 and a lump hammer with repeated success. Car in 1st gear, 2 x 1 on metal Base of gear knob a couple of restrained but sharp taps from lump hammer from drivers footwell and away it came. Mabey I was lucky but worth a go if all else fails and no risk of a self inflicted smack in the face.
