Unfortunately I'm in the process of moving to another state so I can't give
the exact process.

I have this same problem and just mapped a button to an event that calls
irexec to execute the eject program. This should go in your already
configured .lirc

Should look something like this:

begin
        button = RED
        prog   = irexec
        repeat = 0
        config = eject
end

If it's stuck so bad that the button cannot eject it, you probably won't be able to eject it as ordinary user with elect command either. I have added a menu item which ejects CD and and does it as root using sudo.

In ~/.mythtv I copied dvdmenu.xml and added this to the end:

   <button>
      <type>VCD_PLAY</type>
      <text>Open/Close</text>
      <action>EXEC /usr/local/bin/cdreload</action>
   </button>

cdreload is simple:
#! /bin/sh
sudo eject /dev/dvd

and the user which runs myth has sudo rights to run eject.
