If you have a firearm with a loaded round that cannot be cleared, leave it in the car, go get the gunsmith and make sure you explain the situation to him him before proceeding.

I faced this exact conundrum recently. I was shooting a Ruger 10/22 Takedown and the gun froze up with a live round in the chamber. I was done for the day and was ready to leave, but that gun cannot be broken down without locking the bolt back, so it wouldn't fit into the carrying case. I was not about to openly carry a rifle through the range and out to my car. Luckily the range I go to has a great gunsmith and a RSO volunteered to carry the rifle to him. He was able to fix the issue for me fairly quickly.
