My glove box is stuck!! Got pulled over and I couldnt get my registration out!!

Before I left for italy/france it was starting to becoe a little tricky to open it but not too bad. Well yesterday I got pulled over for no tag lights and the guy wanted to see my liscence and registration. Its kinda tricky to give the man those papers when you cant get to them!! It seems like its glued shut almost, any ideas?
 
well mine started doing that a lil bit not too long ago. i had to pry it open a little bit with a screw driver and pop the latch open manually. since i did that once, all i need to do is push in the glovebox, pull the latch then pull out like normal. for some reason pushing it in releases something for me but i dont mind it anymore
