how-to change the Oil filter

Could anybody give me any tips or tricks in removing the oil filter on a 1998 Prelude SH ? It is such a small amount of room to work in.... none of my oil filter wrenches fit. I know it says in the manual to buy a honda oil filter wrench from the dealer, but my dealer has none. I am going to order one off the web, but would like to get it changed before that arrives... any help, ideas would be appreciated. Thanks !

I'm only 15, don't have a car, never worked on one...
but here's what I think...
Use a screw driver
Stab the oil filter, and start turning it if you're to weak to use your hand

thanks

Once I got mad enough and got my hand wedged in that little space JUST right..... I got it off by hand! Thanks for the "tips".... I might buy the Honda oil filter wrench anyway, just to see what it looks like and if it really works.
