The foot pedal on my vintage Singer sewing machine is seated in a cradle under the cabinet, so that the knee pedal works the foot pedal. I need to free the foot pedal and power cord from the cabinet. But it seems to be stuck in the metal holder under the cabinet. Is there a trick to getting it out? Do I push/pull one direction or another? Is there some release mechanism I'm not seeing?

I would send an email to the Singer company, with the model number. If you can download the manual online, you may be able to figure it out yourself.
I just recently (Apr. 2020) was trying to figure out how to remove my control from inside the cabinet and while looking underneath the control, I noticed 2 channels in the plate that was attached to the cabinet. It looked like the control box needed to be slid "down" (towards the floor).

When I had my first knee sewer (I loved that thing literally to death I used it so much) it could not be converted to foot. It just wasn't build to be converted. It had short wires, and it was, like you said, affixed firmly to the stand.
You had me curious about this, so I went to YouTube videos and there are videos, like this one, that talk about how you can take it off and rewire it to be a foot pedal.
Here is one of them:

If this one isn't helpful there are a lot more of them. Just put convert foot to knee pedal in YouTube's search.
My singer knee machine may not be the same one you had (I have no memory of the model number it was so old), so maybe yours really was designed to be convertible. Mine was not.
Best wishes for happy stitching!!!
I have a Singer 101 in the Queen Anne Cabinet. If you look down from the top you will see a bracket with a metal frame holding it in from the top and two sides but NOT at the bottom. So from above I just watched and wiggled it out going downward. I did stick a small flat screw driver in the far side to lift the thin metal bracket just a 1/8 of an inch to get it started.
