I seem to remember seeing a How to using a piece of forked wood under the gear knob and another piece of wood to rest the lever on over the armrest as a fulcrum. I may be talking out of my whatnot and be remembering another car entirely. The theory seems to make sense though!!!
EDIT See post No. 3 in link below

If by chance you are removing it to replace it with another then make sure it is the right fit. I believe the later facelift ones are a different fit from the early ones.
