iPhone Stuck in Headphones Mode

"I went for a jog with my headphones plugged into my iPhone 6. After the jog, I removed my headphones from the headphones jack but my iPhone still detects that a headphone is plugged in. When I receive a call, I couldn't hear what the other person was saying. No sound at all! And if I increase the volume level the volume indicator shows "Headphones" instead of "Ringer" Did anybody encounter a similar experience? Voice out to tell me how you solved the issue. Cheers!"
