HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer

Hello!

I was loading a black ink cartridge into my HP Photosmart 6520 and accidentally inserted it wrong. The front of the cartridge locked in before the back could, so the back is sticking up and loose. I'd probably be able to get it out if it weren't for the giant piece of plastic covering the back half of the cartridges. 

Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much!!

I am unable to pull the cartridge out. It latched into place wrong and won't move because the back is stuck under the ledge of the printer as seen in the photos.
