If your car cigarette lighter won't pop out, it may mean that either the lighter itself is bad, the fuse is blown, or the wiring is bad. Testing the lighter is rather easy. You could use an ohmmeter to test between the center of the coil and the metal jacket. If nothing happens on the meter, then the lighter is bad. You could test the socket by plugging something else into it. Then from there, if the socket is dead, then you should try looking for its fuse.

However, if you mean it is stuck and you cannot pull it out, then the socket or the lighter is broken, or there is an object or substance between the lighter and the socket. It could be anything from spilled drink or rust, to deliberate vandalism.

You might be pulling too much power through the cigarette lighter. Also the cigarette lighter may grounding out for some reason or another. If the car has an aftermarket stereo, whoever installed it may have miswired it.

Why does cigarette lighter on 2004 Jeep Liberty Sport not work but rear AC plug does. Aren't they on the same fuse?

They are not on the same fuse,and some cigarette lighters wont operate unless the engine is running,or key is in acc.position. Additionally the rear AC plug is directly connected to the engine but the cigarette lighter is not.
