I am able to get most stuck posts out via using PB Blaster. I let it soak for a day or two. I install a junker seat on it, put the seat in my bench vise, and carefully rotate the frame. Note, you can damage the frame doing this, so be careful.

Out of a dozen stuck posts, this has worked 11 times. The 12th time is going to require cutting out the post.

I just removed one yesterday using the PB Blaster/bench vise method.

Note, this is with alloy posts in steel frames.
