To remove the assembly, simply remove the actual ash tray (small plastic piece that holds the ashes).

Once you remove that piece you'll see a phillips head screw. Remove it.

Now take your fingers, and keeping your thumbs on the aluminum/wood/whatever it is you have, take your fingers and put them in the ashtray assembly, still with your thumbs on the trim. With your fingers, push towards the back of the car and at the same time press up. Give it a good pull and the assembly should come loose.
