It should come out with it in that position. That is how mine comes out.

Mine likes to give me a hard time...sometimes I think somebody welds it in when I'm not looking!
Just give it a good yank...

My truck did the same thing and it was a pain to get out. I think I tried turning it while I was pulling on it and the dipstick finally came out. When you do get it out rub some tranny fluid on the rubber by the handle of the stick. That helped me keep it from sticking after that.
