The Verb "To Be"

Please can you tell me when it is correct to use "I" or "me"? For instance in the sentence: "You find it easier to get out of this chair than "I" "me"?

Thank you.

I is a SUBJECT pronoun, and me is an OBJECT pronoun. 

"I like him." I = SUBJECT, him = OBJECT 
"He likes me." He = SUBJECT, me = OBJECT

What Tino wrote is correct. In your example sentence using a comparative structure, both 'I' and 'me' can be correct - it simply depends on what you are comparing. For example,

Using 'I,' the complete thought would be: 

You find it easier to get out of this chair than I do. or You find it easier to get out of this chair more than I find it easier to get out of this chair.

Do you think you could explain what "You find it easier to get out of this chair than you find it easier to get out of me" means, please? [:^)]

i think the point of JPR's post was that by using "me" in that sentence, the meaning of the sentence becomes nonsense (or very suggestive in a way this forum's moderators might not tolerate!)
