If the knob of the Thule Spare Me part # TH963PRO will spin without tightening or loosening that means the lock mechanism is engaged and it needs to be unlock so that the knob engages the threads and will loosen.
Try different key positions on the knob # 753-1908-04 to see if you can get it to engage properly.

I have the lock position clearly in unlocked position but when trying to unlock the knob to release my bike, the knob is clicking (just like it clicks at the end of locking it). This means it actually doesn't engage the mechanisme. The result is that I can not remove my bike from it :-( Your urgent help would be greatly appreciated...
