No big deal, its Standard dinner party entertainment..... Take a cloth napkin (or similar) and push a corner into the neck making a u shape. Maybe an inch or 2 into the bottle. Turn the bottle neck down and bounce the cork around until it sits on the cloth. Pull.

There's a gizmo made just for that purpose. You can buy one at a well stocked wine shop.

You can also use a handkerchief to pull out the cork by pushing one corner down into the bottle with a pencil, inverting the bottle and slowly pulling both handkerchief and cork out.
