Not really, unless your socket is pretty fubar. Also noteworthy is that anything is possible with enough force.

I have seen in the past where the socket was corroded or played out and you could essentially jump the bulb out of the little tracks that the pins go in.

Simply look inside the socket and you can see how it gets installed. It is not rocket science.
