propane would get any rust off... not much else you could use would be good for your living room - have you oiled?
Pull it out of the car when it is still warm and see if it moves. If not oil the heck out of it and then heat. See if that works. I have a stupid Bernina that sticks pretty good - as long as it is warm it works. go. figure. Since it has a few plastic parts I'm very careful to avoid those parts with any solvent - plastic is real close to the stuck part - heat but not direct heat maybe and lots of oil. Somebody probably used 3 in 1 oil. GGGGRRRRRRR that stuff is horrid.
