Let him finish digesting (it takes alot of energy and effort to digest a meal) Once he has finished digesting (atleast to the point the meal is not visible any longer) put him in a damp pillowcase, tie it shut, and put the pillowcase back into the enclosure so it remains warm. Leave him that way for a couple/few hours then check on him. He should be able to work off any stuck shed he has doing this. Also make sure the pillowcase isn't soaking wet but only damp. Another method I recently read about on the ball python forum is put a damp towel in a tub, the snake into the tub and then put that into the enclosure. Same principle both should work well on loosening and removing shed.
