In the mean time, make a wedge by carving it from a clothes pin and use it to wedge it into place.

I would do that, but I don't want to force it in to stay if it is supposed to pop out when battery is charged

It doesn't pop out when the battery is charged. Only the light turns off.

Ok, I'll keep an eye on it. Light turned on as soon as I winterized the Boxster, yet the battery was fully charged

It always does that (light comes on in the beginning, right as you plug in) even if you've just driven your car and think the battery is fully charged. Leave it in for a while, and the light will go off, and on again when it's charging again. Don't worry so much about the light..the charger will do it's job. The plug should not be popping out of the socket though.
