I've just had the 'pleasure' of doing this myself. The only way I could get it out was by taking the whole seat cover off. There may be an easier way but I really couldn't see it.

If your arm is thin enough, you can get your arm up the side of the seat and undo the bolts. Three 10mm ones I think, can't remember.
If not, you have to take the cover off, which is easy enough anyway. And just secure it back on with tie wraps

The suggestion from Peugeot is to 'destroy the locking tabs' I kid you not.
There are two solutions. You can carefully cut the tops off and then knock the bits in the hole down or you can get a small screwdriver and bend the tags out of the way. I ended up doing the latter with a dentists pick.
Shine a torch down the hole and you'll see the slots either sie of each tag (they're lined up accross the seat) where you need to go digging. Bit of a PITA to be honest. New ones are cheap from the stealer though.
EDIT:
Camera found - this is the sleeve - you can see the tags you need to release
