A lot of the forums suggest it's a common problem with the bike. Seems a fair few people manage to get them stuck.
Don't know if you've looked through them bit this seems to be a solution

So, I finally managed to get it open last weekend and thankfully this trick has worked so far.
My new technique- turn key, lift seat off the lock and then with open palms or bottom of fists firmly hit the two ends of the rider's portion of the seat. The motion should be from front to the back of the bike. This pops the seat open immediately which springs out of whatever is holding it down. Its definitely the oddest way I have had to employ to open a motorcycle seat!
Might help ?
