The switch to move the electric drivers seat is stuck and will not move back. It will go forward, lean forward/backwards and up and down. Is there a way to manually move it back?

I believe that there is no manual over ride. if the switch is faulty it will have to be replaced.

Nope, no manual override on a power seat. If it will not slide it is either a bad switch, bad seat control module or the drive motor has failed.
