This happened to me in Rancho Bernardo, CA two days before I was to go on a little cruise courtesy of the US Navy.  The owner of the home where it broke down was very gracious in agreeing not to call the police to have it towed when I explained the situation to him.  Three weeks later I arrived with a pickup and  a rope so I could tow it back to the base and work on it.  We decided to see if we could push it forward just a bit so I popped the tranny into neutral and let off the brake.  A loud pop was heard.  I put on the brakes and just automatically pushed in on the clutch out of habit to put the car back in gear and low and behold everything worked.

 

The moral of the story?  Threaten it with a truck.

 

If that fails, try above ^^^.
