Some people have reported that loosening the wheel screws a little
(don't remove them completely) and then driving a couple of meters
will loosen the wheel rim. I haven't had to do this myself as I prefer
to prevent stuck wheels by proper preventive maintenance[1].

[1] A small amount of some anti-corrosion stuff (copper paste,
    aluminium paste, grease) on the part of the hub that protrudes
    through the rim. Do not apply any substance on the surface
    between the hub/brake disk and wheel rim. This surface should
    only be cleaned from corrosion and dirt.
