Why not just snap it off inside? Or is that illegal?
Well, then it becomes damaging something that doesn't belong to you.
Those jacks are usually just attached to the board with solder pins, and the jack itself itself isn't designed to hold the plug with such force that you could shear it off - you'd probably break the jack first.
You could cut the plug portion off the body and jam that in, or even superglue it, but I guarantee you most people aren't smart enough to figure out why something like this happened and will spend a decent amount of time (and perhaps a service call) trying to fix it.
I had a universal remote to shut down BET when the student union became rap music central.

or you just use a short nail
That can work if you get one big enough to break the contact on the jack or can short out the connection.
That's what she said

It'll most likely break the audio jack. Cut the backshell off at the base of the pins, then just use the tip of your key to push it all the way in, leaving nothing exposed which could be grasped to help remove it from the hole
