Often when these recip saws get jammed around the blade or lever it is usually due to sawdust or grit that has worked it's way into the mechanism or else the mechanism has actually broken. After a full day of work I often have trouble getting blades removed.
First try spraying the whole mechanism with silicone lubricant and let it soak in. Try tapping as forcefully as you can around the mechanism without breaking anything. If the lever and mechanism isn't actually snapped off somewhere, this usually does the trick.
