Setup a straight glide and hope you see the ground before you leave the cloud.
With no engine and thus no vacuum pump and a slowly left turning attitude indicator in clouds, not to mention the added stress and confusion, I don't think average Joe pulls this one off to a good end...
And even if there is enough space between clouds and ground, high chance that the pilot pulls the yoke full aft on seeing ground and overstresses the aircraft.
