Turn it upside down, clamp setpost in a vice and twist the frame.

What materials of post and frame? The vice/twist process works but you need to be really careful - remarkably easy to snap the frame doing it.

Done it! Went in the vice and a copper hammer,wd40 and rags and a block of wood got it out. Not the neatest of jobs but it had to be done. Feel a bit crap about hurting my bike.

just had to get Argos to melt mine out and cut an inch off the seat tube to fit a seatpin binder bolt as i bought it cheap with the pin buried in the tube and the top of the frame was fu++ed
