I have an easy method but it's hard to describe. Using a needle nose I squeeze down on it with one tip on the tab and the other on the back side of the device. Then go the opposite way. By this I mean I do not try and grab the tab with both tips of the pliers.

I'll have to try that the next time I'm changing out recepts that one is switched and one isn't.
