there are lots of threads suggesting various methods to remove your seatpost:

-ammonia to dissolve the aluminium corrosion (ask a friendly chemist)
-heat the tube, freeze the post
-seatpost in a bench vice with the frame upside down, twist the frame (CAREFUL not to destroy the chain stays and seat stays)
-seat in a tree, turn frame (not sure if this one works)

or just cut it out.
i just got my seat post out of my old CP10, I tried the heat, buckets of WD40the vice, the hammer...ended up destroying the tube with vice, cutting it down, then cutting the first 10cm with a jigsaw at 5 places to remove some pieces. Then the last 10cm is did drill it down with a 25mm drill bit. Took me a while but so happy now...and remounting it this weekend!
