When it comes to rusty stems and seatposts, patience is truly a virtue. Try to concentrate your applied force as close to the headset as possible--i.e. immobilize the fork at the crown, rather than the dropouts, so as not to risk twisting the blades. Lube and leverage are your friend. It may take time, but parts usually break free...eventually.
