I wonder if you can soften it up some in the oven. Then run a knife (a nice chef's knife from the kitchen perhaps ;-) ) around the edges to break the bond.

Turn it upside down pop it out. Sorta like a cake or loaf of bread.

Another thought might be to insert a couple of long lag screws or screw eyes into the tar. Would give you something pull on.
