Occasionally. After unscrewing the crown I usually have to roll the crown forward a bit until it pops away from the case into position 1. Once there it usually goes to position 2 just fine. All Rolex will sometimes need to be fiddled with to let the crown out easily. I've had this on 3 DJ41, 4 subs, and 4 GMTs so agree it's a thing.

Don't apply a lot of force. Roll the crown a quarter turn and try again.
