    this is the way its stuck...there seems to be a ball bearing or something inside it but it wont budge no matter what way the part is facing

    "in the horizontal position, the quick release lever is automatically locked; to unlock the bike has to be lifted-up to the vertical position"

    The ball bearing (or whatever the moving part is) is the anti-theft system. A little bit of rust may be impeding it's movement.

    yeah coulda been something like that, should probably spray some wd40 in there just to be sure...
