If it's really stuck on there, once you get it off, check to make sure the brake caliper isn't sticking. Look for abnormal pad wear. Heat from a dragging brake would speed the corrosion that makes it stick.

I watched a tire mechanic do it by simply turning his back to the wheel and giving the top of the tire a solid backward kick with his heel. Came right off.

....sounds like you are probably just not lifting the car high enough.
