Default removing stuck car wheels.

I've got a flat tyre on one of my rear wheels, thought it would be a case of
jacking it up removing the nuts and giving the tyre/wheel a good kicking and
it would fall off but its stuck solid.
I've been kicking / hitting / prying the wheel from behind while on axle
stands but its still not budging.

The tyre won't hold air for any longer than a couple of minutes so I can't
even drive to the local tyre place to let them deal with it.

Anyone any tips on getting it off?


Gently lower the jack so that some of the weight is taken on this wheel?
