Try loosening the adjustment screw AT THE CALIPER to free up the brake cable and see if the caliper expands some for you.

I will sometimes adjust the tension on my brake cable line AT THE CALIPER to have better response from my lever as my pads wear low, and I have had trouble getting the inflated tire free of caliper when removing the wheel after making this adjustment.
