That's perfectly normal. You are supposed to downshift while you are still moving. It's a safety issue, not a wear-and-tear issue. But if you are stopped, and you can't get it to shift down, just let out the clutch to spin the gears. Then put the clutch back in, and shift down. I've had it happen bunches of times. It's no biggie.
