Box turtles legs are stuck in shell

My box turtles back legs are stuck in her shell. Will they come out over time or is there something I can do to help her get them out?

They pull their legs in when they are frightened or cold...put in a shallow container of lukewarm water and let it soak for ten minutes or so...leave it alone and it should bring it's legs our natuArally. ...if its legs are truly STUCK you will need to take him to a Vet.
