Or you could not stress it even more than it already is by:
-sticking your hand in its enclosure and waiting for him to uncoil himself
-gently unwrap him starting for the tail
-don't hold him for that long if that is when he starts to get irritated

Put the snake away after 10 minutes and you should be fine if it only does it after 20 mins , it may have just had enough / feeling stressed ....
