Raven,
When I turn the key in my glove compartment, at a certain point the bar attached to the key becomes "free". Then the box opens when you pull on the key using almost no pressure.
If you are pulling on the key and it does not open easily, it is not in the right position. Turn it to a different position and try again.
After you get it open the first time, the simple system becomes obvious.
