Passive learning, while essential, can cause us to become unaware of our ability to 'use' what we know upon recognition, and I find it has been one of my biggest hiccups in language learning.
As the thread title suggests I personally have run aground this problem and only recently have begun to find ways to circumvent it. In the interest of brevity, simply put, I try to write random phrases X words long that (try to) make grammatical sense in front of native speakers if possible. Trust me, when you get corrected you will remember that correction better than any textbook telling you 'you're wrong'. Try it- join a language exchange group, write something, create conversation. It helps in the long run (I find). And the #1 thing to remember is to not be afraid!
Otherwise just trying to write things out (like in a journal, as another user has attested) will more forcibly mould your brain around the language and the paradigms you've passively absorbed over time. Highly recommend it too.
