Out of gamut Pantones in CMYK

I'm working on a business card for a client who has chosen Pantone 286 C as the background color. The printer requires CMYK color mode. However, when I fill the background layer with this Pantone color, it changes to a much duller color. Aren't Pantones CMYK compliant? Is there a way to achieve the colors I'm trying to get? Is there a specific Color Profile that I should be using?

Pantone specifications are usually chosen when you want a (possibly out of gamut) color as spot color, not a process color mixed from CMYK but a fifth, sixth, ... separate color used in the printing process. It seems your printer can't handle the job.
