You may need to pull start the car if possible. Check the brakes before you pull start. If you can't pull start, have an extra charged battery and a set of heavy duty jumper cables along because you will probably need to start it for a longer time. Glow for 2 or 3 cycles if it won't start the first time. Hopefully it's a warm/hot day, that will help starting the car.
