This depends on what you mean by memory stick:

Internal Memory: (Random Access Memory, the chips you don't see unless you open up the computer)

To remove RAM, the procedure varies by computer. In this case, if you are not comfortable doing so I would contact a technician, as was previously suggested.

Now, if you mean a Flash Drive (one you carry with you to hold your files), than that is a different story. To safely remove that:

In windows - In the bottom right corner hold your mouse over the small icons until you see one that reads "Safely remove hardware...". Right-click and when the menu opens, left click. This will bring up the main menu to stop and remove hardware. Follow the on-screen instructions.

On a Mac - Drag the picture of your flash drive that is on the desktop, to the trash bin.

You may then remove the flash drive safely.

Cheers
