Default Cigarette lighter socket spinning!

Need help fixing my cigarette lighter socket, it just spins 360 degrees and I need it to be immobile. Any tips?
Thanks.

need to pull the panel out so you can get to the back to tighten it up. mine has a small rectangle piece that comes out then snaps back in. gotta be careful prying it out so you dont crack it.

One more question, how can I make it that the cigarette lighter only works when the car is running? So I don't drain my battery.

you would have to re wire it to a switched circuit.
