I have the same problem. The only solution I've found is to manually wind the tape forward about 15 seconds and it works fine again. The problem only occurs if I let the tape wind all the way to the beginning.
Have a look at the recording lugs on the left and right hand side at the rear of the cassette tape case. Check that they are still there and not loose. If you have removed them at sometime to stop it being over-recorded then maybe whatever you use - sellotape, electrical tape, duct tape, has come loose or gone soft. If none of the latter then there must be a problem with that cassette if it is the only one doing that. If it's not the only one then the problem is inside the VCR and will need to be taken to a reputable repair shop or they may do house calls.
Good Luck
you posted 2 different problems here... to answer this one ". The tape is stuck, won't eject and I'd like to get it out without damaging the VCR unit."...open unit, find motor that moves tape ejector and spin that motor by hand (power off)
the other problem, "the VCR will not insert a tape. It keeps rejecting it."...open unit and fully turn ejection motor until home position is reached...this is a home sensor switch not being activated.
