My SRV stuck, cannot free it no matter what I try.

You can also log out which may move your SRV a bit.
It worked, was able to get back to the surface. Unfortunately, now I cannot deploy none of my 2 SRVs. The Deploy option is greyed out, unavailable. [???]
Well done.
Probably stupid to ask, but have you checked your modules to see if the Hangar has been deactivated?
Nice one Myrm. You were right, Hangar deactivated. Thanks.
The single be-all-end-all solution to stuck SRVs is to log out, switch to plain old boring Elite without Horizons, log in, reset to orbit, log out, log back in to Horizons and continue on your way.
Once upon a time, I managed to get my SRV inextricably tangled on a lamppost at a surface outpost.
I was steering around it, got it wedged between a couple of my SRV's axles and just flat-out could not get free.
Going forward and backwards just wrapped it tighter into the lamppost, tried tried thrusting and I could climb the lamppost but not roll away from it.
Collision detection in the SRV could probably use some work.
I get that it probably should be possible to get yourself "wedged" if you drive into a tapering space but, in that case, maybe they could make it so the player could manually lower the suspension and/or retract the wheels to make the vehicle lower/narrower and allow you to free yourself?
Even if there was a manual option to retract the wheels completely, it might allow you to "pop" yourself out of tight spaces, like when you raise/lower your ship's undercarriage.

The pain is real. I went back to main menu then back in and it changed my orientation enough that I was able to get out... Then promptly some how but the left side wheels through the roof I was on. I was able to get off the roof without having to log out again though so whatever.

Exit the game and restart.
Works for me.
Be warned, this can sometimes (happened to me only once) re-spawn you at the sun, not over the planet you were on.
This is exceptionally annoying if the planet you were at is a LONG way from the sun, and you specifically jumped your carrier to the planet, in order to avoid that hideous supercruise trip (as was the case for me...)
