Leo - in the early days of my Ti500, I had a few sticking CDs.  But 
they were regular ones.
There was a small problem with the drive, I believe (it died a few 
months later, fortunately just inside warranty) in that the CDs would 
sometimes catch on the inside of the slot, instead of sliding 
smoothly out.
I got them out by using a business card to somehow help the CD escape 
from the slot, sort of using it as a guide.
Whether this could help you with a non-standard CD, I do not know.
See if you can see 'why' the CD will not come out.  If it is getting 
physically stuck somewhere, the bsiness card trick (I learnt it from 
this list) may help.  Put the card in the appropriate place, press on 
the eject button on the right-hand side of the slot with a paper clip 
or something, and try to see what is happening.

All the best !
