Carefully! Use a large flat-bladed screwdriver or pry tool...but be careful how much force you use and how you pry it off (off spelled with 2 "f"s, BTW). You do not want to kink, bend, dent or damage the sheet metal in any way. Just do a little at a time while working around the perimeter of the cover. Eventually, it will come off. But, dent it...crease it...kink it...and it will never be the same.

That works. I also use a paint can lid church key.
I think the "correct" way to do it is to use the tail of the jack handle, but I almost never want to crawl behind the seat to get the jack and handle out just to remove covers or trim rings.
