When water gets past the natural oils and hairs in your outer ear canal, surface tension can act like a suction cup, sealing the liquid against the skin. It just refuses to leave.

Tilt your head sideways, cup your palm tightly over your ear, then push it in and out rapidly to create a small vacuum. The pressure change can pull the water loose.

Mix a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% rubbing alcohol. Put a few drops in the affected ear, then tilt your head to let it drain. The alcohol helps water evaporate, and the vinegar prevents bacterial growth.

Until then, shake it off, let gravity do its job, and enjoy the silence.
