Here's How to Do It.

when a cork slides down inside a bottle it is very difficult to get It out unless one has the necessary tools, and they are not always available. A good way to extract it is to grease the neck of the bottle with vaseline, then hold the bottle under cold water. When the bottle is as cold as possible, spear the cork with a hatpin, or even shake it until it blocks the neck of the bottle and sets straight with the neck. Then gradually heat the bottle or pour hot water over it and the expanding air will generally force the cork out with a slight pop.'
