universal repair tool -- a straightened paper clip -- and poke it into the little hole on the front of the CD drive. Push hard, and the drawer will open...

When you turn the machine back on the drive will put the tray back into place.

if that doesn't work, restart the computer

using the drive. CDex sometimes locks my drives.
If it refuses to open after a reboot try sticking a paperclip in the little hole - that forces it to open.
