Post #3 spark plug doesn't want to budge! (OH NO!)

I had some temp. ac delco's in the 951 until my NGK 7's came in, and I went out to put'em in today, and unlike the last ones I took out, they came out EASY no little bindings or anything. EXCEPT #3! It's binding, I've tried to move my angle on it and everything! OH NO! It doesn't seem to want to budge! What do you think happened? The car does run fine, FAST FAST FAST. Should I leave it in there and put the other 3 in, then take it to someone who can maybe do something else to get it out? OR should I get a like 3 foot pull handle and just force it out (I guess my statehood is showing up in that statement (ALABAMA)) I guess it's cross threaded or something, it's like It's tightening either way I go! OH NO! <img src="graemlins/oops.gif" border="0" alt="[oops]" /> <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" />

What could some of the 'catastrophic' effects be?
P.S. - The plug isn't fully in now either, it started to loosen then stopped and binded up, what would be the best bet overall?
-Try to take it out?
-Leave it partially in or what not.
-Try to just get it into working place by tightening it again somehow or another
-Putting the car on a trailer and taking it somewhere?
The 3rd option sounds OK to me, it seems like a better idea than trying to get it out, I figure that it's pretty close to in already. If I try to take it out, it could break, screw the threads more, and then not be able to put a new one back in. If I try to get it back in place it seems that I might mess the bottom threads up some, have a working plug & car, and TIME to decide where I want to take it, etc etc.
Let's hear from you guys!
