When I was still regularly making biodiesel, I got the oil out one of three ways:
1. I used a plastic hand syphon pump. It was the pump up and down kind, not the rotary. Mine broke after a few times, so if you get one of these don't hesitate to spend a little extra money to get a sturdy one. I've heard of people having more success with the rotary barrel pumps.
2. I used an electronic pump hooked up to my car. This actually worked very well, but the pump ended up breaking somehow. If you do this, just make sure that you keep the pump as clean and dry as possible after use.
3. I finally resorted to using a plastic pitcher. Although you have to get your hands dirty, this is probably my preffered way of doing it. A pitcher can't break, and it goes faster than you think if you are only getting enough for your car.
If I were to do it again, I'd probably just get a nice rotary barrel pump.
