"My bicycle has an  aluminum seat  post in a steel seat tube. While looking for a creaking noise, I  discovered that I forgot to use anti-seize in  this situation, because  the seat post won't  budge"
Just a thought ... given that the seat post is of no consequence, would it not be possible to use an adjustable reamer inside the seat post, and simply ream the aluminium away until ... well .... it's gone. No danger of damaging the finish on the frame, and, although it might be a little tedious, aluminium should ream out fairly easily.
