I had that problem with my GMC truck's filter. I took some snips and cut the extension that the release goes into. The part i cut is replaced with the filter anyway, so no damage done that's not fixed with the replacement. After getting it off, i cleaned the release clip with WD-40 and some steel wool. Worked like a champ.

Man it must have been there since it was new. I'd clip the fuel filer "nipple" off with some side cutters after soaking it with WD-40 liberally. Then use the needle nose pliers to work it out with some more WD-40.
DO NOT use any cutter that makes sparks, no toasty roasty action.
