    The first thing I would do is try a squirt of WD40 into the locking mechanism and repeatedly try to engage the lock with the seatbelt and also pressing the release button repeatedly. It may well be a more involved problem that requires a trip to the garage to fix but for the sake of a couple of minutes effort it's worth a try.

    If it does work then please beware of thin films of oil on the buckle, wouldn't want you ruining your Sunday best.
