In some probably older aircraft you can pick up a wing with the rudder to an extent, but why not lower the nose and get out of the stall, it's much safer. In an aerobatic aircraft using full opposite rudder with neutral ailerons will stop rotation in a spin, otherwise using coordinated stick and rudder together is a very good habit to get into.
In 30 years of flying, only once did I really scare myself, a low slow uncoordinated final turn, just made it right in front of the CFI, his comment " you won't do that again will you", "now get back in again and we do it properly together", 3 times.
