Not quite clear on this part; if you pull back, he's pulling you tight? How does this get your forehead on the mat?

(1) hiji kudaki (straight armlock - putting your armpit on their elbow, sitting your weight on it)
Are you doing this wakigatame/rokkyo style? Never heard of hiji kudaki before.

One thing I'll throw out, FWIW, sounds like you need to attack that elbow, get a bend in it, but 'cause he's stiff-arming, it's hard to do? Have you tried a wrestling-style 2-on-1 on his stiff arm? Try to drag it down without losing your posture too much? Maybe then you'll have some more options, not sure though. Take this with the bucket of salt it deserves ....

Hmm, leaping ukemi.... flying armbar?

Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
