CD stuck in headunit

Well I now have a CD stuck in the stock 05 headunit. Any body know how to fix it, or am I doomed to listen to the same CD from now on?

It was in the HU for a while. It plays put it won't eject. It simply says CHECK DISK.

if you dont get the disk out press eject again and use your cd in hand to lightly press the other cd back in then it will go out of check disk, and you can try again, it might take you a fet trys but it is the simplest and cheapest way seeing as you wont have to pay anything to get it out.

i know the way im telling you may sound stupid, it does but it works and i could get mine out everytime it did it, it sucks that i had to go that route at the time but it does work and you wont break anything

I'll try that too. I just don't want to spend some money on a new aftermarket HU, cuz if I do I will go all out and get a good one, not something cheap and I don't have that kind of money right now. Just payed 2.5k in school tuition.
