It may not be the flap at fault. Open the toilet service door and have a look inside the cassette compartment on top of the waste tank as there should be a plastic blade protruding from the top which pushes open the pressure relief valve. The valve has a spring underneath which enables the valve to open and close when you remove and replace the waste tank and this could be jammed stopping the cassette tank from being withdrawn. However, not all waste tanks are of the same design so it would be a big advantage if you stated what make and model the toilet is but all toilet tanks have to be fitted with a pressure relief valve somewhere to enable the gases to escape.

It is not as basic as you are overlooking unlatching the big yellow latch set in the cassette's base, with the floor, just inside the door?
Otherwise, I have my suspicions what has happened is the internal "gearing" has jumped over a cog, leaving the bit that transmits the rotation [ item 23 in the link] not aligned with the cassettes main axis, ie still a bit out of line.

I think there is a way to reset this via a hand through the flap hole, but can't supply info on that.
If it is just slightly out of line, a decent pull might spring things enough, but that's a risky option that still will leave sorting out the internals, though in a more accessible way.
