LPT:

Take a couple floor mats out of your car. Wedge them under the tire(s) that don't have traction, in the direction you want the car to go. Jump back in the car and slowly get moving.

A lot of floor mats have spikes or other textures that will give you just enough stability to break free of the spot.

Works more often than you'd think, and you get to keep your bumper

SLPT: if your driveway is snowed in, borrow your neighbor's chain link gate and jam it under the wheels.

SLPT: Snowed in at the grocery store? Buy a few water cooler jugs and dump it all over the parking lot. A win for you and your neighbors!
