There was one highlighted somewhere amongst the forums a good year or so ago, (and commented upon by Mike Gallagher) but no idea where those comments would be now!!
However, I found something that does for us (Hard ground pegs for tenting), and although the smallest is fine for us, they do a variety of sizes.
Just a word of warning... I needed to open up the "slot" (with a grinder) to fit snuggly around the peg and fully get under the peg head, thus avoiding slipping off!
I bought the smallest version, (7"?) found in B&M for about £3.99 (from memory), but I believe they do a wider range (of sizes) at screw fix.
Search for "GORILLA BAR" or "ROUGHNECK GORILLA BAR".
They're basically jemmy bars, but with a flat profile (approx 2" wide) for more stability.
This is my baby one, between lump hammer and claw hammer...
Examples here...
Don't forget... you'll need to open up the slot in the "claw", as they are basically nail bars.
If you do find that "proper" peg pulling lever, I seem to remember comments on them "being expensive for what they are" and "no better than these Gorilla bars" (barring the small matter of the slot size)!
Hope that helps.
EDIT:
Oops... I only went and left the decimal point out of the price!! 
Don't suppose you would have read on, seeing a price tag of £399!!

... I've found the mention of it. Seems it was called an "Easylever", but googling that now, it doesn't seem to bring up the link I was looking for.
The mention, and a link (now broken!!), was found on page 4 of my peg bag thread.

Another vote for the claw hammer. You can also use a small crowbar to remove pegs.

Claw hammer here aswell.
