A young man has found himself in a bizarre and embarrassing situation after his legs became trapped in his washing machine for over three hours.

The 22-year-old became firmly lodged up to his waist in the top loader on July 26, at his home in Lakemba in Sydney's west. 

'This job was interesting as the crew had not performed a washing machine rescue before...' NSW Fire and Rescue posted to their Facebook page on Monday.

The entire washing machine was disassembled by emergency services and blocks were placed under the unit to stabilise the man.

'Once the exterior of the washing machine had been removed fire fighters had to cut away the stainless steel drum to remove the patient from the washing drum,' NSW fire and rescue wrote.

The process took over an hour and the man was then transported to hospital by road ambulance as a precaution. 

'It's definitely one of the most unusual jobs we've had,' station officer David Cross told Daily Mail Australia.

'It was just one of those odd things that people do at odd times,' he said. 'Maybe something wasn't working.'

Mr Cross has been in the job for more than 35 years and while he has attended to children stuck in vending machines, stubborn rings on fingers and digits stuck in plug holes, this rescue was one of the most bizarre he has seen. 

The man remained relatively calm during the ordeal, but 'was in a lot of discomfort' and suffered some understandable 'cramping' after being released from the machine.
