I can't get out


Explanation:
I agree with all the previous suggestions, although I think this is the most natural colloquial English and covers most contexts. (If the context is a computer program, then 'I can't exit' would be more correct.)

I cannot go out


Explanation:
The context is not clear. If it is "disariya cikamam" then it is "I cannot go out". If it is coming out of a place then "I cannot get out".
