    Did you get it stuck in the card reader or in the optical drive?
    If It's in the card reader, all you have to do is gently press on it and it'll pop out a little. If it doesn't, then probably the spring got out and you might have to open it.

    If It's now in the optical drive, take a look here for some options:

    Or Google the situation and there are a few ways to do it without taking your laptop and ODD apart.

    Press on it and it should bounce back, don't pull it.
