Well, it may be too late to help you now, but if your car isnt an automatic, it should be really easy to bump start. Just get someone to help push, turn on the ignition, put it in 2nd or 3rd gear, and let the clutch out real fast so it turns the engine overe, and then push it back in real fast. Repeat until car starts or you stop rolling. If you have an auto, you gotta get a jump start.

No prob. The same thing happened to my Civic. Left the lights on, let it sit an hour or two, and it started right up.
