Sometimes they get stuck like that. Usually this is because the groove that the snap ring sits in gets distorted slightly, or the splines past that part towards the end of the axle get damaged.
Use a hammer and a socket to drive the joint back onto the axle a little bit and examine it closely.
I've had a couple get hung up and I usually find the problem or else it comes off easier on the second try.
