Same thing happened to me only on flat ground with a standard ball hitch.
Went to Off Road height, put down the jockey wheel, then lowered the car.
The ball just hooked into the hitch slightly & I ended up with 1 very bent & mangled jockey wheel.
I now just wind up the jockey wheel so if it hooks I can just wiggle the trailer to release it properly.

Thanks everyone for comments and tips.
The idea to disconnect the ball and lower the car (but don't move the car) is a good one. Although it would not apply to my Tregg off road hitch.
I have a Traxide battery isolator (to be fitted as soon as I get around to it) to protect me from flattening the car battery if I leave the Anderson plug connected to the trailer battery overnight.
Most important lesson: Don't lower the jockey wheel and leave the trailer connected to the car for any length of time. :spudnikconfounded:
