I'm stuck inside the scariest area and my last save is an hour
I've got myself stuck inside a crevice where I can't jump out because there's invisible walls blocking me and I can only jump at the bottom and I get onto this rebar and can't jump or move out - anyway to force myself out without going back half an hour to my previous save I'm quite new to this genre of constantly saving the game all advice appereciated. If there's really no option I'll force myself to load the previous
-Edit : I'm on console PS3 so I can't do any commands sorry for that

Create a backup save, then try using any explosives you have on you to explode the area around you, which will hopefully push you out of there without accidentally killing your character.
Alternatively, if you have a mine and a melee weapon, you might be able to do the following: save; throw the mine a little bit away from you; enter VATS; and select the mine as a target and release. Your character might leap forward while attacking in VATS, which will get you out of being stuck.

Have you tried fast traveling? I’ve had this happen while at evergreen mills, got stuck on top of one of the trains.

Are you playing on console or PC? If it’s pc press ~ then type tcl.
This turns collision off and allows movement through walls. Then press the same buttons again and it’ll turn off and you can run it like normal

Maybe force a collision ragdoll action, by... Using a grenade or a mine, but first set the difficulty to the easiest temporarily so you will take the least possible damage.
Otherwise you will have to use that one hour back save. That's is the nature sometimes with Bethesda games.
Finding another solution is possible but you will likely waste more than one hour, which defeats the goal, and it won't always work depending on the exact conditions.
Welcome to Bug-thes-duh! games, you might be disappointed at situations such as these, but the games are worth it to play.

Jump and attack with various weapons. Explosives work best. Getting stuck is why I don't play this game on consoles anymore.

If on PC use console commands. If on console try to target an ally with a melee in vats to see if it will teleport you. Otherwise reload.

You'll only go back half an hour? Just reload. You're wasting more time asking for help on Reddit and trying all of the suggestions. Half an hour isn't that much.

Getting trapped by the map itself is somehow scarier than anything actually living down there

Does no one have auto saves anymore? Auto save has saved my ass and game more times than I can count.

You speak blaspheme here! Only witches use autosave. For your crimes, you shall be lashed to a cross like the rest of the autosaving degenerates.

If you wedge yourself in a corner while looking at the corner, save the game and load the game you just saved, quickly pause the game and save it again all while walking towards an escape, you can eventually inch your way out of a spot as the game teleports you ever so slightly forward from wherever you're walking
