You didn't say so, but I'm guessing you're referring to a CD drive?  If so,
there SHOULD be an emergency release hole.   Look for a small hole, about
the size of  a pin shaft, on the front of the unit.  On my drives, one is
near the eject button, and on the other drive, it's in the middle of the
unit face,  so look around.  Take a paper clip, straighten it, and push it
through the hole.  It will press the release lever, which should open the
drive just enough for you to pull it out.  Good luck.
