Tweezers or a friend with some fingernails if you grip it across the widest section and wiggle a little then pull you will get it out. Just don't go over the top and use pliers if you break the fuse it will be a pain to get out.

Alternatively pull the radio out easily done with the built in tabs and pull out the power connector, should reset it. Stick the gearstick in reverse before you do this you will understand why soon enough ; ).

Isn't it easier to unplug the battery?

For the stereo plug use a flat blade screw driver to push the clip
