Leave the pedal in that place, and mark around it with a thin permanent marker or whatever works. Remove the mat and cut the pedal shape out of it on the marked line. I used a rotary blade. When you replace the door mat your foot pedal will fit into the hole and not slide around at all.
This is the Best idea I've seen for this problem. it makes good sense as well. I'm ashamed I didn't think of it.
