If you touchdown, select reverse, then discover another aircraft/vehicle blocking the runway, you have pretty limited options...
Some moons ago a TAP Bus at Copehangen did a Go Around and all the circuit pattern with nr1 full shells opened in Reverse config...successfully

Airbus then stated as conclusion:
The SOP for landing also states that as soon as the flight crew selects reverse thrust, they must perform a full-stop landing. This is also highlighted for a go-around near the ground in the FCTM, which states, “the PF must not initiate a go-around after the selection of the thrust reversers.” Adherence to this SOP will avoid any repeat of the event described in this article.
