Before I take it to a bike shop are there any alternative methods anybody could suggest, please? thank you.
I’m kind of not understanding what happened. What you are describing is the ENTIRE seat post fell down inside the seat tube. How can that happen ?. The post has the seat clamp on the top, that cannot get caught inside, won’t fit.
Did perhaps the post get pushed down too far into the seat tube ?, and is now stuck ?, as in jammed tight ? Or is it a part from the seat post that got stuck ?
