Default unstabbing a electrical plug

I am replacing some switches that the wires were trimmed and pushed into the
switch instead of bending the wire around the screw. My problem is pushing a
small screw driver into the release hole does not release the wire. Is this
a common problem or am I just not doing something correctly? What's the
secrete?

Probably the latter, you push the small screw
drive in to release the catch but often it doesn't
really release until you push the wire in, then it
releases completely.
