A Lebara SIM is different from a Vodafone SIM - you need a Vodafone UK SIM.  So wait until you have returned to the UK, get a Vodafone UK PAYG SIM, top up, use it (so the IMEI number shows up on the network) and then request the unlock.

The unlocking costs £19.99 so you will need to top up with £25 in order to have enough to make a few phone calls so that the IMEI number registers on the network.
