iPhone is stuck in headphone mode

I hadn't used the headphones before this happened. I've tried cleaning out the jack with a match (it looks very clean) and plugging the headphones in and out several times whilst watching a video. Neither worked.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

so I read through this forum on all the solutions and none of them worked. However the ONE that did was SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET NETOWRK SETTINGS. This only removes any passwords you have for wireless networks and does not reset any personal things such as pics, contacts, etc. After the the phone came back on work right away!
