Most likely the internal ball-bearings used to secure and release the pin for your Bulldog Lifelong Hitch Receiver Lock # BD580404 are simply stuck due to some corrosion or debris. Even when trying your best to protect a lock like this from the elements using the provided cap, moisture can be pretty persistent in finding a hard-to-reach access point.
What I recommend doing is just using some kind of penetrating spray lubricant both inside the key slot and around the barrel where the pin will release. Let the lubricant sit for a minute or two and then try to wiggle the key around inside the slot, popping the center portion out and seeing if you can maneuver the pin away from the assembly. You might need to repeat this process a few times before it actually comes loose.
If this doesn't resolve the problem please let me know.
