Wow, it depends on how far it went. I only have a 1st gen, so yours may be different.. but that vent typically goes down just a bit, then has a very gentle slope toward the front/windshield, and at some point, bends downward toward the middle of your dash and down to your blower (which is typically above the passenger's shins).
 
The vent grill just pulls off; it's secured by a couple of tabs and is easy to remove. Because the contacts on the USB drive are metal, I would attempt to snake this:

down there, and hope that your metal parts are pointing toward you where this will pick it up. Be gentle when attempting this, and listen for contact! Because... see below.
 
If the metal part is pointed away from you, this will push it down even more, so... If there's quality porn on that flash drive and you really really need it, you'll have to disassemble the dash to get to the ducts. The only other option I can think of is to remove the blower motor assembly from the car, and direct (via flexible ducts or something) a high pressure blower (such as a leaf blower) into your vents where the blower was. Close all vents except the on that contains the flash drive... and blow. This may have enough force to blow the flash drive back up. FWIW, I'm only thinking off the top of my head, have never done this.
 
Good luck, and I kid on the porn thing. ;) Just trying to make light of what probably is a bad situation for you.
 
EDIT: I might add - the more you drive the car, the more the flash drive will vibrate, the further it may go into the vent. Avoid driving the car until you've found the solution, if possible.
