Got stuck and got out (the last pic is out)... And understood why power steering is a good thing after about 40 times going lock to lock just to get an inch further. The wheel would barely turn stuck in the rut I was in! It's winter but I was sweating like a pig stripped down to my t-shirt- windows open.
I love my winch but it seems there is never anchor to pull to when I need it!
Look into a land anchor. I've never seen one, but the pics Ive seen make me think something like that may have been useful in this situation.

I haven't played with it enough to know if it is viable yet, but I cut up and welded some steel rod to make a spike for the ground to winch against. One suggestion was to weld some additional sheet metal for sword like wings, but that would make it more difficult to remove as well.
This video from Theiss shows it in use, kinda...
It's actually at about 10:30 in part 2:
