Answer 1

turn the ignition switch all the way to the left and the seat should come loose.

Answer 2

Like has been said. Turn the key counterclockwise and push down on the front part of the seat.  May need to spray a little lub on the lock mech if you can.  Be careful, don't turn it to hard, I've heard of people breaking or bending keys.

Answer 3

The seat latch is opperated by turning the ignition switch.

You may have to push down on the front of the seat for the latch to release.
