If they do not come out because they touch the roof then your only option is to take the bottom seat out and detach the rear seat enough to pull the top forward to pull the head rests out.
Not that difficult to do.

Brute force.
Raise the headrest to its highest position, grab the two chrome rods, and pull up. I've found the best position to do this in is actually sitting in the rear seat with the front seatback reclined considerably back. The fit is incredibly tight, but it will release with enough force. The procedure is described in the workshop manual, and I didn't believe it myself until it finally let go. I've done it a handful of times.
