Hmm. I hadn't thought of that. It just always feels like the rubber
gasket is snug and kind of impedes the ejection. I sort of came to view
it as a feature rather than a bug (good sealing vs. ease of removal),
and that my stubby fingers and nails were more the source of the problem
than the camera itself.
I'll give that a whirl and see if it makes a difference.
Thanks for the tip!

Walt, check for a tiny sliver of plastic broken off from an SD card
during an earlier insertion.
Some SD card brands have thin plastic ridges around the SD card's
contacts. These are fragile and break off, usually in your SD slot or
a card reader. Very poor design! I've experienced this in both places.
A few puffs from a blower bulb aimed into the slot removed the plastic
and fixed the problem for me.
BTW, this doesn't happen with the SanDisk cards. Nudge-nudge. :-)

Also, you might want to consider using something like a pair of tweezers to
get the SD card out of the K-5. I found it a little more difficult to pull
out of the slot than on any of my other bodies due to the weather sealing.
It holds it fairly snugly, and if you don't use the right touch when you
press and release it, it doesn't eject the card quite as far and it can be a
little tough to grasp with your fingertips.
