sometimes they get stuck, like josh said make sure all lugs are off and the wheel is off the ground , you can kick the tire or get behind it and hit it with a rubber mallet, it will come lose.

First things first, I hope you're not trying to get the lug nuts off with the bar that comes in the trunk. It's short and doesn't give you much leverage. Leverage=mechanic's friend.
1. Find a good x-shaped bar.
2. Spray the lug nuts with liquid wrench or WD-40.
3. Make sure the e-break is on and the car is in gear.
4. Do 20 push-ups
5. Twist! Remove all lug nuts, jack the car up, remove the wheel.

alloy rims can be a bitch to get off sometimes. since you got the back wheels off it sounds like you know what you're doing, just give it a good strong kick and it'll come off. just be careful you don't kick it off the jack.
