Answer:

I understand you used a SONY MEMORY STICK, sounds like you pushed it in there upside down. Make sure your computer is turned off and pull it out. You might have damaged the reader anyway. When using memory cards of any sort, if you must push it to get it into the reader it is either upside down or the you are putting it into the wrong slot.
Try grabbing the stick firmly and gently pull it out. If that fails, you have obviously put the stick in backwards. Open the side of your computer up. Ground yourself out so you don't ruin anything by placing your hand on the Power Supply or the side of your case for 30 seconds. Now, reach towards your 5-in-1 memory card reader and pull the card out from the other side. If it is an internal reader, you will have to take the card reading piece out all together and take it apart with a screwdriver, but that shouldn't be too hard. It just slides right out from your computer after you unhook the cords which connect to the Motherboard and PSU. Goodluck.
