Firstly - why don't you ask your instructor??? If he can't answer you, train somewhere else!

Jammed pedals allow you some time (as long as you keep the airspeed up). Ditto to Ascend Charlie's post but also, as soon as you have ground contact, the friction with the landing surface (once you touchdown) will keep you relatively aligned. SLOW movements from then on!

As your speed decreases, let the aircraft slew around and follow it with the cyclic. Don't try and overcome it 'cause you will roll it over.

Hope it helps.
