Sorry, but I've had floormats get into where they didn't belong before and what I found works in that situation is to reach down, grab that damned mat, and pull it out of the way. Then, when stopped, straighten it out all neat and tidy.
That is what I was thinking as well ; more so after having seen the pic on the investigation website (NHTSA) of the gas pedal stuck under the lip of the mat.
Either that or slip a toe of the shoe under the go pedal the flip it backwards.

Sadly it seems to be such an easily avoided but truly tragic sequence of events.
