Default No they just get stuck like that after awhile....
Screw one of the lug nuts back on loosely and beat the crap out of the back of the rim with a rubber mallet or soft hammer. To prevent it you can clean the mating surfaces witha wire brush and apply a bit of grease.

or you can lower the car to the ground and rock it back and forth slowly and carefully

Drive foward a little, stop, reverse, then stop. Do that a few times. SHould come off.

Bang it with the end of a 2x4 from the far side like a battering ram. It'll pop off.
