A hammer... and duct tape.
Actually if it won't stay popped in you'll probably just have to glue it.

I'm afraid that if I'd glue it, it'll stick in the down position and that will be even worse than now..

^ mmm.. well, as long as you don't get the glue on anything but the bottom of the key it probably won't stick down, but I've never tried so I don't know...

Go very, very, very sparingly with the glue. It doesn't take much at all.

under the key (maybe) is some metal in a "U" form, put that to the keyboard and press the key (not too hard) if you hear "snap" it will be back in business.
Thats the way i put my keys back in Hp pavilion laptop. PS. DO NOT USE GLUE!!!

 My d key broke off on my old laptop keyboard, and I tried to put it back, and it snapped on. After a while though it became loose and came off again and it was out for good. I just had this white plastic nipple for a key which I had to fondle every time I wanted to type d. It was sexually arousing but impractical. I just went for an external keyboard until I got my new shiny desktop computer. And yeah don't use glue except as a last resort.
