From the pic it looks like you should be able to slide the small screwdriver under the cassette itself and pry it out. I can certainly understand your frustration. Hell, I'd be smacking the dashboard until the thing ejected. If you need to remove the player it shouldn't be that diffcult. The 98s you have to take off the dash panel (like 8 screws) and then unscrew the stereo itself. I'd imagine the 99 dash panel/stereo setup is not much different. I would keep working with it and hope you didn't break something. GL
