If they are really stuck the plastic will break before they come out. I found ( as Dave suggested ) if you push them in then lever up gently a few times to loosen it will be easier than just trying to lever out in one go. You want a fairly meaty headed flat screwdriver and make sure they are both the same length. Rest on an old slider pin to give you more leverage
