I am not sure about the vette, but when I had this issue with a Firebird I was able to release it by inserting another CD in the slot about half way and hitting the eject button while applying slight pulling force on the CD that was halfway in.

This force was enough to pull the stuck CD out. It turned out the the mechinism that ejected the CD was failing. It started to happen more frequently until the CD was stuck in there for good. The only CD I can listen to now is Use Your Illusion II.

Your mileage may vary. Good luck.

The other CD method is a good one for helping release a stuck one, you may also want to try quickly banging on the side of the radio console firmly (dont beat the hell out of it ).

Avoid using burned CD's with labels on them, they get hot and the label tends to bubble up and get stuck in the player

Good Luck
