Default Another spark plug question

Long story short im doing the spark plug change on my 5.4.. Got all but 1.. The problem i have is that the only the steel casing and hex nut all came out leaving the entire spark plug in.. Any suggestions on how to get it out?

I have the lisle tool but cant use it as the spark plug did not break

Slip a deep socket that fits tightly over the porcillin on an extension and pop it side ways then you should be able to push the rest in with the lyle tool. You might try first to grab it with some needle nose plyers and pull it straight out. sorry for grammer little keys big fingers.
