I have played this out in my mind 100 times since I first heard about this.
I have not read this entire thread, so if any of these ideas are already stated, my bad.

I would pull up on the gas pedal (with foot) and try to free it.
I would (probably) see that the floor mat had caught it and remove it.
I would stand on the brakes and slow it down (this has to work) If you stood on it 100% from the get go, I doubt that it would overheat the brakes.
I would do something with the key (i'm not sure how it all works, but I would press and hold the button/cycle the key whatever I had to do)
I would stand on the brakes and ram into an 18 wheeler (or large vehicle) at hopefully 10mph or so closing speed and honk and let his brakes slow me down.
