Do you mean quill stem? Seatpost? (> http://www.sheldonbrown.com/stuck-seatposts.html )

If it's a stem, make sure you pound the screw head until it the screw slides down a bit and then the wedge releases. Possibly with the front wheel taken out and the fork placed on a piece of wood. I scratched my stem when the bolt finally agve way :mad:

be very careful trying to get a stuck stem out, I recently bent a fork trying to get a stem out.
