One easy trick is usin a long and large screw and pliers. Screw in the screw until most of it is in, but leave enough out to grab with the pliers. Pull straight and firmly.
Another is to unseal it and pound it on a hard and massive surface, by carefully carpeting that surface (with an old dishcloth, folded to the size of the bottom of the bottle) as not to break the glass of the bottle. Make sure you hit the bottom flatly and sevceral times. Not to hard tough.

Get a hammer, a screwdriver, and a large screw. Screw the screw into the cork all the way down leaving enough to pry it out half an inch with the nail remover part of the hammer. Then use the pliers to pull the cork gently out of the bottle. I've never tried this but I've heard it works very well. Good luck!

Take a tube of mascara (or something about that size) and push the cork down into the bottle. (It's not that difficult.) Much easier than trying to get the cork OUT of the bottle without a corkscrew.

Not without ruining the cork.
You can take a knife and get it out with that or anything else you can find. Then to get the bits of cork out of the wine, take a coffee filter and pour the wine through it into another container. That will get the cork out of the wine and it is good as new!

A BIG screwdriver. You take the seal off the bottle, then push the screwdriver into the cork. It should move and you can push the cork into the bottle. You'll have to drink the whole bottle in one evening, but that hasn't ever been a problem for me and my husband. :)

Try to make something that looks like a cork screw by untwisting a metal coat hanger. The thicker the wire the better. Try to twist the shorter twisted end into the cork. If you have a way to trim some of the extra wire off it might work better. Leave enough on the long side to have a handle.

Try to hammer the cork into the wine bottle. The only problem is you have to drink the whole bottle in one sitting.

Push the cork into the bottle

Well... what if you try to borrow a wine opener from one of your new neighbours or just try to push the cork in the bottle instead of pulling it out. Sorry, don't have any more ideas.

The knife trick: Push the cork down through the neck of the bottle with a standard dinner knife. It will bob around a bit, but it works and if you do it right you won't have flakes of cork floating around your glass.
There's also the famous and flashy sword trick which saps the neck off the bottle, but we won't get into that skill here, and since you just moved, you probably don't have your saber unpacked yet...
Have fun....
