traction pads - anybody used them?

I got stuck in a residential road today (our roads are the last one to be clean by the city).
We got a bit of snow and now with warmer weather the snow is thawing so I got stuck in a deep grove trying to pull out of garage. I could not move forward nor backwards.
Front wheels were stuck deep in a thawing snow and front was up the bottom of front bumper.

I don't think winter tires would save me. I got lucky passing neighbor help me push the car out.
I was thinking of buying a "Traction Aid" like on the link enclosed:
MotoMaster Heavy Duty Traction Aid | Canadian Tire

Did anybody used anything like this?

I'm sure it will be a problem to insert it under the tires when the front is deep in a snow up the the bumper.
