It happened to me before...but luckily the parts fell outside. The charger usually has a cap in the front that can open up inorder to allow you to change the fuse inside.

i would suggest you remove the trim around the shifter and remove the cigarrette lighter screws and remove the assembly. Or you could pull the fuse and try to play some more with the needle nose pliers. You could blow a fuse when you are playing with the needle nose and depending on how bad it is b4 the fuse blows you could weld your pliers in the socket haha.

as he said, remove that fuse, its right behind the glove compartment, Take off the faceplate, remove the 2 screws and remove the glove compartment, you will see a shit load of fuses.

3 rows.

This happened to me once on my old '94 Saturn... my iPod's 12V charger kindda fell apart inside the socket... I just used a pair of my girlfriend's tweezers and got all the pieces out :P
