I have had more luck with a period disc if you still want something insertable. Shallower and more flexible. I like my cora disc fwiw. I find it easier to remove (no tail).
Hoooray!

Probably doesnt apply but safety first: monitor yourself for fever if its been in longer than 12 hours. If you spike one go in, might be toxic shock.

Its likely that you can't get it out because it has successfully formed a vacuum seal. If you can get a finger past the lip, that is ideal for breaking it. If you can't feel it, try feeling for it while bearing down.
You also might try coughing: puts a ton of downward pressure on your pelvic organs
Alternate between keegles and bearing down. The idea is to move the cup downward so you can touch the stem, but also get your finger past/next to the lip.

Well, the position you put your body in can make a huge difference. Usually lying down leaves more room/lengthens your vaginal canal. Sitting/squatting usually shortens it. Try a few different positions.
Try bearing down like you are trying to poop (not too hard as it can damage your pelvic floor)
Um, would you like advice? This has happened to me before.

How can you tell that no one in power at the DOE has ever been an educator? Cause they think they can cannonize Charlie Kirk with big banners and TPUSA chapters in every school (by mandate) and that that will actually change young minds.

She took her FMLA (cause there is no real parental leave) and thus ate up all her allowed time off (because it eats up even your saved sick days first). And then her baby got sick and, *gasp* she had to miss two, TWO more days! And for that, she was put under review and pushed into home duty.
