First, get the cheesecake as cold as possible without freezing it. Then, run a butterknife around the edge (carefully). Next, dip the pan in a larger pan that has been partially filled with hot water.The idea here is to get the outer edges loose (with warmth) while keeping the middle firm (chilled). A rubber spatula may help you gently pry it ouy.
Cheesecake on a stick-sounds like a good idea! MMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

# Bring all ingredients to room temperature before mixing. This usually takes thirty minutes.
# To soften cream cheese in the microwave: place unwrapped 8 oz. cheese in a microwavable bowl and microwave on high for 15 seconds. Add 15 seconds for each additional bar of cheese.
# Mix filling only until combined. Don't over mix.
# Use a spring form pan so that the sides can be removed.
# Butter sides or use a metal spatula around the edges immediately after removing the cheese cake from the oven.
# Place spring form pan on a shallow pan, like a pizza pan , or cover bottom and up one inch around the sides with aluminum foil to avoid leaks in the oven.
# Place a shallow pan of water in rack below cheesecake to keep oven moist.
# Don't open oven door while baking.
# A perfectly baked cheesecake will be puffed around the edges.# When shaken, about an inch in diameter in the center should jiggle.
# Cool slowly (about an hour) on a wire rack, away from any drafts.
# Store in the refrigerator, loosely covered, for up to four days.
# The bottom of the pan can be removed from the cheesecake once the cake has firmed in the refrigerator. Use two spatulas to move cake to serving platter.
# Garnishing a cheesecake should only be done within 1 to 3 hours of serving.
# Cheesecakes taste best when brought to room temperature. This takes about 30 minutes.
# Securely wrap an already firm, about 4 hours in the refrigerator, cheesecake to be put in the freezer. Cheesecakes can be kept for up to 2 months in the freezer.
# Thaw frozen cheesecake overnight in the refrigerator.

Get a knife slightly oily and run it around the sides of the pan. Anything you can do to heat the bottom of the pan will melt the bottom of the cheesecake a little bit and help it slide out. Don't get the knife too oily and don't melt the bottom of the cheesecake too much.

dip the bottom of the pan in hot water. this will melt the cheesecake a little and loosen it up. also just try running a knife around the edges of the pan.

forget about the 'on a stick' part. dip it out of the pan with a spoon (or whatever works-a jack hammer maybe?) if possible and serve in dessert dishes

Maybe try sliding a slightly damp spatula under it and loosen the sides with it...

Wow, I don't really know. How about throwing it out and starting from scratch, but don't forget the foil this time.
