Terrible luck.
You going to have to get a tow out?

Not sure a jack will fit under that corner of the car...so that'll be fun. 
Why would you need to remove the wheel? Bit of an unnecessary step, no?
Hope you got sorted OP.
Was thinking of clearance, but yeh, maybe no need to remove the wheel
Tbh, just looked closer at the pic. There doesn't appear to be much clearance, if any. Might struggle to get a jack in that side. Might have to start at the other side and progressively move along an axle stand or something.
No room to get a jack under plus the ground slopes a bit towards the back. I did try revving it in a moment of panic even though I was doing it in vain.
Booked a tow recovery to come and winch it out later tonight if they turn up. They already phoned me back trying to reschedule for tomorrow until I told them I need it out tonight.

Jack it up from the back,might give you enough clearance at the front to wedge something under it.
Then move jack to the front.
Then move jack to the front.
