Failing Rob's screwdriver techinque, drop the plastic pan/guard (assuming it is still there) just behind the bumper and reach up to the mechanism. Once released you should be able to lubricate or adjust the cable and latch so that you won't have the problem again. Cables stretch. Latches get sticky. Nothing lasts forever, but with a little care you can nurse them along.
