The problem being that to physically plug it into a sokcet you need the larger ground pin, as it releases the shutters, which prevent idiots and children pokeing things into the live bits :-)
The cap of a BIC pen makes a good work here. You insert it in the ground pin, the shutters are released, and then you can insert a round continental stile two-pin plug.
