There's a couple of threads in the Stilo section of the forum that describe the same problem and a cure for it. They may be the same or similar to your problem.

Always used to have the same problem after folding down seats and just unbolted the reel from under the seat and allowed the belt to feed back in. As suggested in other posts just clip the belt in before folding the seat and you won't have the problem of it locking again.

get it all the time just make sure the seat is clamped right down and locked fully back seat belt won't work if its slightly off angle

iv'e had the same on a few of my past cars iv'e found if you pull the belt fully out & wrap it round the head rest when you put up the seat its fine and loose
