The same thing has happened to me - to get the pins to reset properly, replace the seat into the car then exert some hard pressure down on the back of the seat (you may need to kneel down on the seat back) while at the same time pulling on the release handle at the base of the seat. With a bit of manipulation the pins should reset so that the collar is under the ball bearings rather than above. You will then be able to replace the seat in the usual way.
Trust this will be of help if not rather late!
