Pain in the ass!! Me, too, and I do. I usually end up popping the skirt and shoving the sliding track (that's what moves, not the pedal itself, right?) down by hand. Not a good move in waves, of course. In extremis, you can plant your foot against the hull stiffening bar and bend your knee farther than usual. I was able to roll that way once when I actually lost the pedal itself off the track. But I think Joe's idea is not bad. I'd use really light bungie.
