Hi - I had this when I was fitting a boot liner.  Theres only brute strength  Im afraid.  Push the head rest all the way down and in one movement give it a good heave upwards and it'll pop out.  Mine where a bugger, was convinced there must be a button or something

cheers

lol, yep i know.  its not just that they're stiff, but they come to an abrupt halt when you pull them up to their full height, so you end up conviced its banging up against something! 

Be brave!
