It will also lock if you try to lean forward too quickly.

The arm closest to the seat belt buckle should be over the belt, while the other arm should be under the belt, as shown in the illustration. Never wear the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt under the arm closest to the door.
If you are not able to pull out the seat belt from the retractor, firmly pull the belt out and release it. You will then be able to pull the belt out smoothly.
