If you're binding the Metasploit Handler to your external IP, whilst port forwarding from your router to the internal IP that isn't going to work. Try binding to the internal IP address, (192.168.1.2 or whatever), and see if that works. The router will then forward incoming traffic to Metasploit from your external IP to the internal IP and then you'll get your shell
As CloudHopper said, the only IP you can bind is the one the computer is configured, so use your lan address, and the port will be forwarded from router wan.
But since you're behind a nat, you can just bing the LHOST to '0.0.0.0'. Test if the port is connecting using netcat.
