are you using a spark plug socket? they lift right out with one of those. Right tool for the job, if you're gonna pay 6 bucks a plug at least buy the right thing to put them in with.

Does the socket have a rubber or plastic boot inside? You need a good spark plug socket with a rubber boot inside so it'll pick it up. You can get them really cheap at the hardware store.
