Try cleaning the antenna. Sometimes road grime can get caught in each segment. It can gunk up and keep the antenna from going down.

Clean it when the radio is on and the antenna is up. Just wipe it off but pay close attention to the top of each segment. Make sure there's no dirt in there and se if that helps.
