It's unlikely to give you an instant response, but I suggest penetrating oil or PlusGas around the top of the ignition tube and gently twisting the lever backwards and forwards. There will be an absolutely minimal amount of twist in the tube, but assuming it twists a fraction at the top this will help to allow the penetrant to descend the column. If day by day you get a fraction more movement I think you will find after repeating the excercise for a few days it will finally free off. You can also try turning from the bottom assuming you have the bottom lever in place. Don't force anything; if you get a twist in the tube you will have to find another; firm but gentle if you see what I mean. Good luck!
