OK if the pin has some tension between the truck and trailer the release arm may not move. Usually I solve this by putting the truck in neutral and let it roll an inch. If still not releasing I ask DW to nudge the truck very slowly forward or back while I tug at the lever. Of course wheel chocks are on the trailer and front legs are down at this point.
As far as front legs I find the Pullrite does not like a high pin. Keep some weight on the saddle and let it slide off. Same with hitching. Go in a little low (1" or 2") with the trailer and let it ride up.
If you really get twisted up the hitch head will rotate on you as you try to pull the truck away. In this case pull the two pins and let the trailer lift the hitch head off the hitch base. You can let it hang there but I tend to re-position the truck and put it back in place sooner than later. I find this to be fairly uncommon.
Best of luck and lots of happy adventures to the SIL.
