There was another poster a couple months ago that had problems uncoupling from his trailer. After lots and lots of suggestions, someone finally asked if he simply lifted the handle. Well, he did, and that was his problem. So, not to sound so simplistic here, but... are you lifting the handle before trying to raise the trailer so it will separate from the ball?
I appreciate your question because I know it's sometimes the simplest things that can cause the biggest problems, but, yes, I do make sure the latch handle is up when coupling or uncoupling the receiver and hitch ball.
In that post, it wasn’t a matter of lifting. The OP had the style where you have to slide it back to fully release.
If you’re operating it correctly and pulling forward slightly after chocking, it may just need the adjustment backed off slightly as others have posted.
