In addition to the pulling by the roots suggestions, I think you should consider purchasing some heavy duty gloves if the stalk is as barbed as I have seen some get (and if this will be a continual problem)
Go to Home Depot and check out their gloves. I bought a good pair of tough leather ones pretty cheap.
Otherwise, just wrap an old shirt or cloth around the base and pull/twist it out. Or, maybe you could just dig out around the base and avoid the barbed stalk all together.
