1st- Welcome!

2d - Not really. Push - release over and over. Maybe gently wedge a plastic knife into the edge and pry.

good luck.

If it really is jammed closed and you can't get it with a butter knife or something, you could always pop the entire cup holder assembly out of the dash.

And put it in the trash where it belongs! I do agree to remove the unit, which is very simple once you remove the "horseshoe".

I meant remove it to try and fix it, but it really does belong in the trash. The ultimate cup holder is thousand times better.

On my car to remove it you just pop the trim piece off, literally just snaps on. Then it's four phillips screws and it's out.
