I think you'll need to get a longer cord or move what you're plugging in closer.
Don’t go smaller than 16 gauge – Long extension cords smaller than 16 gauge with a load on them can heat up quickly (and possibly catch fire)
i had the same problem after I put up my Christmas tree lights. My husband took a hard file to the fatter end of the plug......and it went in instantly. The guy at Home Depot told me that sometimes when extension cords are made....the plastic coating sometimes get thicker in the hole ends....and when my husband did the filing....it worked perfectly!!!
Inside or outside, don't plug multiple extension cords into each other. Go for the longer cords that reach where you want to go. Make sure it is outside cord if that is where you plan on using it. The lower the gauge number, the more amperage it can handle and the safer it is. Be safe, get a longer cord.
