Now what do i do???

I went out of town for a bit and the car has dropped to the floor...

The issue is that it tells me to wait while the car rises, but it never does! I think it is an ABC issue, but how do I get it fixed if I cant drive it??? No way it can be put on a tow truck either... It will be damaged for sure!

Any ideas?

Start up the car and turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then back all the way to the right...the car usually goes back up. Mine does the same thing if I leave it for 2 weeks. Let me know how it turns out.
