How do I fix the oven knob?

My indesit oven won't stay alight when you turn it on, I have been holding the knob in wit a piece of card but now tht doesn't even work!

It just flicks all the way back out when you let go of it and the gas goes out...I probably won't be able to get anyone out to fix it before xmas but obviously I need it for xmas day or we will be having a ready meal!!!

So please could someone let me know if it's easy to fix and if I can do it myself...thank you.
