Memory Card "Stuck" in A720 multi-card reader

Question

This is an embarrassing situation. Really appreciate if someone can give me some idea.
 I just got the A720 for a few days. I used SD cards fine with A720's multi-card reader, but last night when I (gently as with the SD cards) slotted in a regular Sony memory stick in it (6-in-1, accepting MS/ MS Pro), the whole stick moved beyond the opening and well into the slot. The A720 could detect the card and I immediately copied all the file into the HD and ejected it on Windows.
Now the memory stick  remains in(side) the card reader slot, and I dare not touch it further lest it goes further inside. Is this a design flaw? I was appalled and am frustrated by how this could have happened -- I actually used my little finger to slot the card in!. I bought the A720 mainly for photo post-processing.
Any idea I can get the stick out (and even better slot it in without the same happening again)? Thank you.

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
There are various reason for a memory card to get stuck inside the card reader
Most common is the direction in which the card is inserted, size of the card also matters or any obstacle which is their inside the card reader.
Push a little harder on the card and it might pop out. The spring mechanism on the inside is designed to release once it is pushed past a certain point.
If this doesn't work, you need to force it out using a flat tool. To do so Turn off your system , Press  the Power Button for 15 seconds to drain out the remaining charge
Now use a  needle nose pliers, areal long thin one. And gently pull the memory card out.
You can also try using a paper clip apply  glue on the edge. Very tiny amount that won't drip push clip in and touch the back of the card. Wait until it is hard in about 15 secs and pull the card out.  
if this does not work contact Local Lenovo service center , we need to open the card reader to remove the memory card
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!
