Prey doesn't by exit the trap but other creatures do. Some species of pitcher plants have exit valves for their pollinators (or was that a pitcher type of orchid - I can't recall. It was on a recent BBC documentary).

I thought it was playing the theme from AND NOW FOR OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION. At least it'd be thematically appropriate.

Let me out of the trap, Hal.
I'm sorry, prey, but I can't do that.
