It looks like it just pushes back in and the clip on the cigarette socket should hold it in place. If it comes out too easily, I would say the clip on the cigarette lighter socket is broken and you would just need to go to Citroen to get another. The electrical wires are just a plug and socket. You won't need citroen to fit it for you (unless you wanted them to).

It's unusual, the early cars were so difficult to remove the cigarette lighter socket they you had to destroy it to remove it.
