What can I do to get my car back if it was jointly purchased in October of 2013?

I at that time lived with my mother. In December, I moved back to my hometown. We made the agreement that my mother would make the payment and possess the vehicle until I obtained a job here so our credit would not be affected. I got a job January 13th, and have more than sufficient funds to cover the payment. I also have full coverage car insurance. My name is the borrower of the loan but mine and my mother’s name is on the title. We now have the issue. My mother will not give me my car back because she doesn't have another vehicle to drive. I cannot get a vehicle because the bank will not budget me for 2 car loans. My mother’s credit is not sufficient to obtain a loan herself. I want my car back. Can I take her to small claims court or what is the best route to take? She refuses to refinance in her name or give me the car and let me make payments on the vehicle myself.
