haha... happened to me last month. Also got stuck when it happened to be on the floor . Metal cable sawed right through and stuck! After I unstuck it, I still drove around for a while, just making sure not to put the pedal down too far. Basically, though, the sticking did not disappear... sometimes it would do its own cruise control... holding the RPMS and keeping me at 70mph with my foot off the gas!
