Sure enough, on the 3rd try or so, the sd card pushed it's way through the spongy material at the dvd opening. I then pulled the L down slowly and not too hard. I did gently shake the imac on my leg a little bit, and also made sure that the iMac screen was perpendicular to the floor - not leaning one way or the other. A command window opens, type chkdsk followed by the drive letter of USB/ SD card/ pen drive, then a colon and /f. Press Win+R and in the Run box type CMD and hit Enter. I then fished the L shaped manila folder piece into the slot (with the leg of the "L" facing the bottom of the iMac). Note the drive letter name of USB/ SD card/ pen drive in the drive list. I left the iMac stand on the desk and then rested the side of the iMac on my legs, but there could be other ways to turn it sideways that leaves the slot accessible. I then turned the iMac on it's side so the dvd was facing down. My method from the other responses was to take a manila folder and cut it into an "L" shape about 4" high and 3" wide. I could have easily wasted three hours taking this to apple store or calling apple care. Wow - I have a 21" imac and did this based on everyone's advice and it worked! Thanks for the scoop.
