Sim got stuck in France museum

My Sim was exploring the French museum. She found a switch to open a secret door, stepped through the door right into a wall. When she moved, she moved outside the wall onto a little area that had plants and such - with no way to get off it. She is stuck. What is the safest way to move her to an open area?
EDIT: So I had paused my game and came here to the forums to ask my question. WHILE I WAS TYPING THE POST, the power in my house went out for approximately 3 seconds - just long enough to shut my computer down. Since I had forgotten to save my game when my Sims went on vacation, the problem resolved itself. If anyone can still answer my question, I would appreciate it for future reference. I had searched for help on it but we are limited to one year's worth of posts and I couldn't find what I needed. Thanks in advance! Off to visit France (AGAIN)!

I guess a better question is why is there a secret door that leads to an impenetrable wall? The lot couldn't have been designed that way on purpose...

I was having a hard time seeing the area with my angle. She opened the door and I clicked "go here" thinking I was getting her just inside the door. It had a tight entry way with an immediate right hand turn to go down stairs. I had clicked past that onto the patio by mistake. She SHOULD have stopped and not gone through the wall. So it's a bug. I don't know how to "reset" a Sim so maybe some instruction for if/when it happens again?
They just arrived in France so I'll be saving a bit more often than I usually do. My Sim had completed explored underneath the museum and got a bunch of Vista points for it. At least now we'll get through it faster (if she gets that one again).
Type resetsim (first name) (last name) (enter)
So if Susie Smith is stuck, resetsim Susie Smith (enter)
To reset all of the sims in a world at the same time, resetsim * (enter)
What this does is clear the sim's action queue and automatically return them to a "safe place" in or just outside of their home lot or wherever they are staying in a vacation world. There are deeper resets that can be done for sims with more troubling things happening to them, but those require mods such as NRaas MasterController.

To get the cheat box up hold Ctrl and Shift keys down while typing C.
The in the cheat box type TestingCheatsEnabled True.
My preferred solution would then be to hold down the shift key while clicking onto the floor/ground and choosing the Teleport me here option you'll see from the pie menu that appears. You might to try a few different spots on the floor to get the menu to appear. Sometimes it only wants to let you build or buy on this lot.
To reset a Sim you get the cheat box up and type in ResetSim Joe Smith. Where Joe Smith will be changed to the name of your Sim. But resetting a Sim will send them home (or to the base camp when traveling).

1. testingcheatsenabled on
2. moveobjects on
3. hand tool, hover over sim. grab onto him/her and move him out of the area.
4. moveobjects off
5. testingcheatsenabled off
Sometimes when I've resetSim, the blasted bugger ends up respawning in the same place (the same position that he got stuck in) as it did before. Sort of makes me wish there was a finger of God function so that I can give the Sim a bit of a smack in the back of the head. Won't do much for accomplishing tasks in gameplay, but it may make me (the Creator) feel better.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
Maybe it's a coincidence it was in the French museum by the way, but there actually is a room in that tomb that closes down on you with apparently no way out (a secret door that closes behind your sim that won't open anymore). There is though. A gameplay solution, no cheat. This room:
And this door:
