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

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
