yeah start to back up slowly while you pull the lever back it should pop out. might make a nasty clunk but seems its the nature of d300s

If that doesn't work, pop the clutch a little bit while in reverse. The Transfer Case gets bound up and there is a lot of load on the drivetrain which makes it difficult to shift out of 4x sometimes.

Oh and to avoid this in the future, don't drive around with the hubs locked and the truck in 4wd on a hard surface. It can and will destroy your drivetrain!

One thing I discovered before I twinsticked my 300, was that gunk and buildup on the stock shift linkage will cause very tough shifting also. The design of the stock settup leaves me scratching my head sometimes.
Keep all that clean and maybe lube the linkage components a bit and it might shift better also.
