Are you describing that the two initial leaves are still inside the seed case as it pushes up?

If so, then some of my sunflowers, beans, and squash have done that, and Darlin’ showed me how to carefully wet them to soften them and then gently pry the seed “clamshell” apart to liberate the leaves without damaging the plant.

No, the seed is sticking to the edge of a leaf about an inch about the dirt. I mean it doesn’t even make sense looking at it.
