I was looking at how that pin works on my 540 and the lock pin doesn't fully retract until the lever is all the way to the left--there's a slight detent. I wonder if people have maybe not quite pushed it all the way in such that when the pin sticks out it's under tension and then it's difficult to retract.
Another thing I've noticed is some of the black paint on the socket comes off after one or two uses--could a piece of that paint be getting stuck somewhere? Maybe it gets stuck in the rear preventing the flash from sliding completely into the socket resulting in the pin being slightly off-center.
FYI, my 540 fits in pretty smoothly--it's snug, but goes on and off easily and quickly. I've used it dozens of times.
Just some thoughts.
