Third row access, 2011 Odyssey

When I go to climb into the third row of this van, what levers (exactly) should I use to make the seat behind the driver move forward? We use wide-mode, if that matters.

Today the seat got stuck. I could not get into the third row to help my kids buckle! I am 9 months pregnant and my belly did NOT fit. I had to bend way over the second row and it was awful. Even non-pregnant, I don't see how a normal person fits. Is the captain's chair not supposed to go too far forward?
My husband thought maybe all along I'd been getting it too far forward, and somehow jammed it?

I never pull the handle under the seat. Maybe I should be? I just use the lever to the far right and push the seat way forward, but he said if I do that the whole seat will start to go up from the back.

You want the lever on the side of the seat back. That's the one that allow the seatback to tip forward AND the whole seat to slide forward for access to the 3rd row.

There's one on the side down low that does seat back angle adjustments only, and one underneath for sliding fore-aft. I don't remember what you pull to unhook the seat from the floor to remove or change wide mode/normal mode.
