This is usually due to a binding that happens when the rear wheels have turned at a different speed than the front due to turning left or right. the shift lever could be bent or dirty needing cleaning and lube, or you could have low fluid level in your T-Case. If you have the vacume type shifter in your front end, a line may have a leak or fallen off. The vacume unit on your front end if you have one may be bad and need either cleaning or replacement. I hope this gives you a place to start looking.

The lever linkage is probably frozen from not be used and probably needs to be lubed up. If that is not it than the shaft going into the transmission is probably frozen.

If you engage the 4WD with a switch instead of manually, there is a motor in or on the transfer case. Because of the location, these can go bad.

There's an actuator in the front axle assembly and another in the transfer case. Test them to see if they're working. Usually it's the one in the front axle that goes. You can get one at a auto parts store.

NOT ALWAYS, but sometimes there is a chain inside the transfer case that will not allow it to come out of 4Wheel low or high for that matter. Just fixed the exact problem, paid $75 for a transfer case off of craigslist and it is perfect now. But just a note, ours made a clunking noise while driving which is how we knew it was a problem with that chain drive inside the transfer case.
