spindle stuck in window?

i have a bathroom window and the espag handle has seen better days and it been getting harder to open so i thought i would replace it and the spindle has come off the handle and stuck in the window, i have sprayed WD40 on it and tried to pull it out but i cant budge it, i am a woman so maybe im not strong enough, does it need to be at a certain angle to release it, i dont know what else to try, any ideas please.
