How to you get the ladder out of the ground?

Thanks to everyone for the help. Patience was in fact the key(something I don't have). Allowing the liquid wrench to set up for a few hours along with massive shaking and smashing with a rubber mallet(which I finaly broke during the process) I finally was able to get it out late last night. However, there is massive deformity on the side that was stuck from all the blunt trama I handed out with a hammer and chisel. However, most of the deformed parts will be in the ground so I think I can use it again next year I'll just be making sure I lubricate it well during the summer so I don't go thru this again.

I also have another question in my attempt to use the carjack to get it out of the ground I bent the angle of the ladder so the bottom part of the ladder no longer touches the sides of the pool. Is there a way to correct this? Also can I glue those bumpers on the bottom of the ladder with superglue so they will stay on?

Thanks again for the help once again you saved me a pool guy visit and $$$.
