glue on?
How big is it?
I was taught by the auto body shop at school a long time ago, with big dents, you can keep hitting the area around it and it will pop back...
I do it everytime i see it on a car at work, i ask the customer how it happend, then pop it back...
Can you get to it from the inside?

The area affected is about the size of a sheet of printer paper.

You can get one of those kits from Eastwood where you spot weld on little studs and use a slide hammer to pull it out. This of course will require repainting the area. The only way I know of is to get at from the back. I've heard only mediocre reviews of those glue on dent pullers, seems like they might work if its in the middle of a large span of thin sheet metal. Just remember not to hit it too hard or you'll go from concave to convex..lol. You may still need filler and paint to get it perfectly smooth too.

I have seen toilet plungers sort of work on certain occasions, but usually they cause more damage than they fix. The pops-a-dent things work if it's the correct size dent, and yours sounds to big. They just glue on with hot glue, so it peels right off, don't use chemicals on it. If it works, go for it.

Never tried this but I think it is worth a shot:
