I would echo what everyone has already said. Lots and lots of penetrating oil. Also try Loctite Freeze & Release. Oh, and time. Lots of time.

Oh, and I know somebody who had the same problem. Fired the engine up and the glowplug ended up stuck in the garage wall I wouldn't recommend you do that though!
I really like that method...just make sure nobody is standing downwind of the intake side of the engine when you fire it up!
