Open pic
Double click background layer in layers palette, rename to anything other than Background.
Select Zoom tool and click and drag an area to start.
Select polygonal Lasso Tool
Follow along edges. After a arm, leg, whatever bring out, the selection out to the background. close area and delete.

After the you get rid of the entire background, you are left with just the person.

This is over simplified, you should be able to find some tuts on masking searching with google. It can be really simple, or complex depending on your level of PS experience.

Masking is the way to go, the above steps are the quick, and dirty way.

Hope this helps.
