Are you talking about the engine lid? This once happened to me when I adjusted the catch. Have someone pull up on the lid while you pull the handle. If it's just an adjustment that should do it. If the wire has snapped it's more involved I am afraid.

Pete,
This is a somewhat common problem. Do a search for: stuck hood or stuck trunk You will find all kinds of suggestions.
