Why should i use a spring form pan when making a cheese cake?

Cheesecake is not the kind of cake that is 'turned out' of the cake pans as a regular cake is. If it were baked in regular cake pans, it wouldn't turn out of the pan, and would be very difficult to cut and serve with the sides of the regular cake pan still in place. But by baking it in a springform pan, you just remove the side of the pan once the cheesecake is cool, then cut and serve on the bottom of the springform pan.

When the receipe calls for a spring-form pan is there anything else that you can use?

If a spring-form pan is not available, it may be possible in some cases to line a regular cake pan with parchment paper. Cut a circle to fit the bottom of the pan, and another strip long enough to extend over the sides of the pan. Grease or oil the pan, place the strip so the ends extend beyond the pan, then place the circle over the strip, covering the bottom of the pan. Brush the paper well with oil. After baking, loosen the sides of the cake by running a knife around the edges, then use the strips of paper to lift the cake out of the pan.

Best to to take a cake from a cake pan?

depends if its a spring form pan, metal pan or a sillicone pan, the best to get your cake out is preperation before adding the mixture, grease proof and baking paper is what i always use or heavily oiling/buttering the pan before you place the mixture in it otherwise you may find your cake has fallen to bits. just because a pan says its anti stick its not always true.
