Let it sit for a few hours and see if it works. Cheap, and in my experience (lots of cheap apartments in "affordable" parts of town during the nomadic part of my younger life in the oilfield) it often works.

They guys in the plumbing dept can tell you how to do this - ask for a military discount they ought to give you 10% off - If you lived nearby, my husband and I would come and fix it for you, but it would be a bit of a commute from Kansas!

They cost about $10 - 15, depending on the model. Before you order, make sure there is at least 1/8" under the faucet handle, or you won't be able to get the tool in place.
