Right this might sound really stupid, but you need to get the tension off the belt to allow the locking mechanism to unlock. Easiest way is to undo the buckle but that may be difficult. I've found that putting my weight on the car seat forces it into the cushion allowing the belt a little slack which helps. You might be able to get the buckle out then. Not sure if the belt locks if the seat isn't fully located back (like Mondeos) but might be wise to check that too. If they don't work then you may have to cut the belt.
