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.
My Oliver 550 sticks once in awhile, when not used. You can fix it without splitting it, or smashing it into trees.
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.
