You could VERY carefully wedge the seat tube ears apart if the tube is smaller at the top although this is somewhat risky. Penetrating oil (I like Kroil) may not break down the corrosion but it will get in between the surfaces and lubricate them which might ease your task. Friction will heat the post and tube which may make the fit tighter; stop and let things, including youself, cool down from time to time.
