Some addtional info as to which O/S and hardware you are using would be useful. There is probably a simple drop down or other menu "eject". But there is also the old manual standby. On the front of your CD drive there is likely a small hole just big enough to insert a straigtened paperclip. Insert and push gently but firmly and a CD will eject.

There is a command "eject", which will eject the CD-ROM from the drive. If you want to know which processes are using your drive use "fuser": "fuser -k /dev/cd0" should kill all processes which are still using the drive.

Still the most common reason for the drive not opening is a forgotten "umount", so you should first try a "umount /dev/cdrom" and only then resort to fuser.

I hope this helps.
