AS mentioned before, very slowly attempt to drive out. Air the tyres down, as your gently accelerating try and slowly turn the wheel from side to side, and also get some mates to either pile into the vehicle, or onto it. DO NOT use a snatch strap as a winch extension, they are not made for it and could break (very nasty when it happens). Ideally even if you can try, get a hand winch and attempt to winch the vehicles to the side, or using a snatch block and try remove the vehicle. A winch is your best bet due to the slow motion of pulling a vehicle. PLEASE NOTE - if your in mud, or boggy soil, the force of suction on the vehicle will increase the weight of the car, so you may need to try find a big winch. If any vehicles can move, try rocking them backwards and forwards, get a couple of star pickets and use them as levers on the tyres. Very basic, but works well (i suggest wearing gloves as they may slip a little)

Good luck, and get some pics up.

Drive carefully! Remember, it's not only a car that can be recalled by it's maker.
