I had the same issue and used a long breaker bar with a wheel nut socket on the end. I pretty much had to jump on the bar petrified of snapping a bolt but I don't think the wheels had been off for a long while (low mile 2008 car). I finally broke four loose and the locking bolt luckily was easier to remove with a normal wrench using my arms.
Next issue, the wheel had fused to the hub so in came the big rubber mallet as well as laying on my back and kicking; I put padding on the floor to protect the wheel face. Not my idea of fun, especially on a jack. Just be as careful as you can.
