Don't know anything about pajero's, Chris, but even tojo's get stuck in 4WD sometimes.
Try reversing, in a safe area, accelerate, then as you lift your foot off loud pedal, push lever towards 2WD. Or has it got a 4WD button?
Can also try driving forward, in say 2nd gear, accelerate then as above. I've even put my foot against the lever, get more strength then.
The third solution is to go to the hardware, and buy the biggest hammer you can carry, and............lol.
Hope it works out for you.
Hooroo...

If its got the vacuum operated front diff actuator and when you move the lever the lights on the dash stay on or blink, it is possibly the front actuator siezed, but most likely the solenoid selector valves are playing up ( on the right hand inner guard).
Ive been there chasing this before obviously, took us about a day and a half to work out.

Chris,
Had a similar problem with my Jeep. Not sure what system you have, but
mine was also a solenoid problem.
If it is an electronic problem, try disconnecting the battery, this will will reset your computer and potentially clear any glitches. This is only a stab in the dark, but worth a try.
