yes there is, there is a small hole in the faceplate of teh drive (should be near the drive door somewhere) use a straightened paperclip inserted into this hole to trigger the mechanical release and open the drive enough to get your fingers on the door and pull it open.

You mean the emergency stuck button?

Get an needle or paper clip, put it in the hole, and push on it. Some of those CD drives can be pretty stubborn. Best way if it seems "stuck" is to push it with an harder surface.
