Tailgate issue

Hey guys...
Ran into a problem
Loaded my 05 Honda 400ex in the bed of my truck the other day. It was a real snug fit and the tailgate closed with a little force. The tailgate will no longer open. Almost as if the locking mechanism inside and messed up. Anyone have any suggestions etc? might have to end up taking it to the stealership

try tugging at the gate a little hard or lightly bang on the top of the tailgate to release the mechanism.If not,maybe take it to a locksmith.

Is the quad still in it? If so, let the air out of the tires to take the pressure off the tailgate.
