Screwdriver, screw, and a pair of pliers.
Drive the screw into the cork but not quite so far as to emerge from the bottom of the cork. Put the bottle on the floor between your feet, grasp the screw-head with the pliers and slowly but steadily pull that sucker out.
If you push the cork inside, you also push into the wine (that is the wine you don't end up spilling) whatever is on the cork. Still, that's what you do if you don't have the 3 items listed above! Just wash the cork and push CAREfully.

Have somebody else hold the bottle (upright), or put it into your workshop vise with rubber jaw protectors. Drill a 1/4" hole through the cork with your electric drill. Then take your sabre saw, install a narrow scroll blade, and cut four slots in the cork, outward from the hole. The four pieces should now fall, along with all the cork dust, into the bottle. Next, pour the wine through a filter made from layered toilet paper in a kitchen strainer to take out the cork bits and dust. Be sure to have a pot under the strainer when you do this. Wash out the bottle. Finally, pour the wine back into the bottle using a funnel. Use a small piece of aluminum foil to make a cap for the bottle, unless you drink it all at once. Next time, buy wine in a bottle with a screw top. Don't attempt this method unless you are between the ages of 15 and 70, and don't get caught if you are under the legal drinking age in your state or province. Wear safety gloves and goggles, and have a big towel ready in case you tighten the vise too far.

Push the cork down into the bottle. Not great, but you can get the wine out.

I have used a sharp knife and pulled it before. With this method you take the chance of spilitting it though. Just go to the store and buy a corkscrew. They are less than 10 dollars.

I've been known to use a butter knife to push the cork into the bottle, then you can use the knife to hold the cork in while pouring. Works in an emergency!

You can't, unless you're prepared to dig it out with a knife. That would be a really bad idea. Just go buy a wine key for a few bucks.
