Never had that problem
Put the plug back in and kick it over to see if the compression shifts it a little??

Gently tapping the head around the circumfurence with a hide mallet usually shifts it. Lambro's ideas a good one too, but may unseat the whole kit from the base? but if so, I'd drop out the engine bolt, take off the head and cylinder in one go and make it easier to separate them?
Did the cylinder head get some sort of sealant on it when put together last, and if so, did they use the right one??
