Keep the gecko in a warm, moist & sterile environment (just damp paper towels & a place to hide. Hopefully, the dead skin will absorb as much moisture as possible. This may take 1-3 days.

As a suggestion, try to immobilize the gecko by wrapping it with a terry cloth towel; hold it firmly in place, then try to remove the excess skin with forceps/tweezers. If the skin is too tightly attached to the ear, do not remove it as this may damage the ear drum which is worse than the original problem.
Goodluck.
