Best fo luck getting the seatpost out! Mine is stuck too, but fortuantely at exactly the right height for me!
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.

Friend of mine have some tool to freeze pipes for heating houses with water still inside, and we will try to freeze seat post, and heat seat tube, an we will see... hope it will be OK. I will let you know how it works.
