Help! Mortgage-pig crisis!

OK, so your wonderful mortgage-pig idea has inspired me (we've only just had an offer accepted!) to start a small fund towards the first annual overpayment. So I bought a pig for pennies from eBay - it's a red Royal Bank of Scotland pig with a grey panel underneath for releasing your funds.
But I can't open it! The base has a small notch in it with a kind of peg that turns, but it just will not open - this could pose problematic!
Has anyone any mortgage-pig experience they could apply to my predicament?
