Are you sure it stuck mechanically or it's just windows? Try rebooting first and see what happens. Then: Did you try to: switch off computer and open it manually? There's a tiny hole in the front cover of the dive, where a piece of wire should be stuck and after delicate pressing (but still using some, just not too great force) unlock the drive. Shaking the machine a bit, when it's switchd off, to make the cd fall flat is an option.
If there is a cd stuck, then do not try repeatedly open/close the drivee, cd pressed from ends may "explode".
Did you manage? I went offline for a while? If it's a tower, it should stay as a tower - there are some CD drives, which can work "vertically", but it must be specifically noted. Try turning PC to its designated position and check if cd falls onto its drawer and it can be extracted one of the above methods.
