Unfortunately, you cannot remove yourself from the lease without the consent or agreement of all other parties to the lease--including the landlord. That is, even if your roommates agreed to let you out of the lease, you could not escape your obligations under it unless the landlord, too, agreed; and since whether the other parties consent to allow you out of your contractual obligations (since that's what a lease is--a contract) is voluntary on their part, there is no way to make them allow you out. Even a single roommate or the landlord, if he or she does not agree, can prevent you from being removed from the lease. What you can do, if the lease does not restrict or prevent subletting, is could find a subtenant yourself who will rent from you; that way, you may still be on the lease, but you'll have an offset for your rental obligations. If the lease does not require roommate or landlord consent for a sublease, you would be able to do this even if the other parties objected.
