Beyond that, I agree with the other suggestions here - wiggle the crown a bit back and forth (clockwise and counterclockwise) perhaps until it "pops" out a bit more from the case - that should be position 1 for manual winding.
Tug a bit more on the crown stem for position 2 (date adjustment) and then again a bit more for position 3 (for time adjustment).
If you have unscrewed the crown stem to position 1 and still have a hard time pulling/tugging it further, then I would suggest a trip to your AD or sending your Sub to RSC for service.

Interesting discussion.
I have a brand new (from AD) YM 40 two weeks now. It pulls into postion 2 just fine, but can be (sometimes) difficult to get into Position 3 (hacking). It just barely clicks, and hacks, then I touch it, and it's back to Pos 2. It's not a very pronounced "click". I have a couple others with this movement, and they don't do it. I'll monitor it, it may just be normal for this watch. I'd hate to have to send a new watch in for warranty already.
