You don't NEED 4 Wheel Drive to get out of this stuff. Sure, it helps, but it isn't necessary.
I have a 2004 Civic Si 5Speed and made it to work no problem this morning. Parked out back, had several inches of snow on top, around and throughout the alley, just like everyone else. I had 0 issues coming to work.
If you know how to drive, you shouldn't have issues. Don't rev the car to 8000rpm while getting out of your drive way, where you sit there and polish it to a surface that even the Saddledome would be proud of, and you'll be fine.
