It does lock with the central locking so as you suggest, perhaps the mechanism has siezed somewhat. Give it a good squirt of WD and make sure you haven't damaged the paint around the cap, it will rust to buggery  otherwise.

Thats right. Give it a real good squirt then perhaps operate the central locking a few times to try and free it up. Fingers crossed. At least your omega is cheaper to run given that you don't have to fill it up with petrol now  :y

as mentioned the petrol filler cap unlocks with the central locking, when you finally get it open, grease up the locking pin  :y

Best to lubricate it with a small amount of light oil to prevent it sticking in the future
