Rashly decided to drive kids back home across waterlogged paddock. Am stuck. Daughter has birthday tomorrow. Car needed for lifts.....
Have tried: mud ruts mode, turning off dsc, pushing, reversing, towels under wheels, straw. Wheels spin and it is getting deeper.

Sounds like your best bet maybe a tow although I'm sure you've probably thought of that 
Would reducing tyre pressures help  it helps in sand 
Is there a local member to you put up your rough location

Actually one of the pushers suggested reducing tyre pressures. Has anyone else heard of that apart form in sand? Thanks

Depends on how big the holes are that you've dug with your wheels
It may be worth digging a section in front of all your wheels to give you a start
