I did something similar last year. The post was a 6 X 6 end post and not rotted. I attached an "L" shaped iron bracket to the post (a wood block might also work) with 3 long screws and used my garage floor jack sitting on a board to slowly lift it out straight up and out. I didn't think it would work but I didn't want to have to dig it out. If that post is typical it is it there at least 24". I had to reposition the jack several times as the angle of the arm changed with the changing height of the "L" shaped arm as it came out.
