In most cars, it just "fits" into the console. You should be able to pull it out with the help of a flat screw driver. But some have a screw or two at the back end and you'll need to remove some of the dashboard or other panels close, under or above it.

I would suggest unplugging it first or removing the fuse before sticking a screw driver in there.

It should be off by default, if the ignition is off. But, yeah, make sure there's no power to the socket before you remove it.
