Seatposts are easy to get out if you don't mind destroying them.
First try using some ammonia to break up that * oxide. Then if the ol' twist 'n' pull doesn't work, flip the bike upside-down, put the top of the post in a vice, and use that frame for torque and just keep trying to twist until it breaks free. First concentrate on the twist, then on the pulling out.

5 dollars with the seatpost stuck, 20 without. That thing is a pile.
