Seems strange it would stick in middle of summer, and used less than a week ago. But the only other possibility is complete failure of the clutch disc, and that's unlikely- usually occurs when you're operating it, not while sitting.

Remove starter; tie the clutch pedal down; steal a kitchen knife from the house, preferably one that the little woman won't miss; heat it up about 2 inches from the end, and bend it 90 degrees.

On about the third or fourth try, it'll come loose.
