Default PETROL CAP (HELP)

When i got my car last week i went to put petrol in and the lockable petrol cap wouldnt open for anything!

it locks, and when you remove the key u cant turn it (which is good)
But when you unlock the cap, it just spins and spins without coming off
(which is bad ) Because i cant put any juice in!!!

What would be the best way to remove the dam thing without bits dropping into my tank?

Or is there a 'special way' these come off?

IM NEARLY ON EMPTY
