Why will my seatbelt not unlock?

To begin with, a seat belt can be stuck due to two reasons: a) the problem may lie in the retractor being locked, and b) dirt or grime may have accumulated on the seat belt, causing it to retract slower than usual and not all the way. That way, the seat belt will not retract back in while cleaning it.
