Bow your head over a large pot of boiling water, covering your head and the pot with a towel, so that you breathe all that steam. That will help a lot in unclogging your nose, if it's not bad 3-4 times and you're ok.
Otherwise you can try a spirit, one time my uncle gave me a shot of what in Italy we call grappa (this one was the green - so herbs infused)... 30 secs later i was pouring snot like a fountain.

take a deep breath in...pinch your nose and hold your breath...put your chin to your chest...still holding it....then, over the course of three seconds, move your head so that you're looking at the ceiling...still holding it...then back down to your chest over the course of three seconds...repeat until you can't stand to hold your breath one second more. this fools your brain into thinking you can't breathe and it will stop sending blood to your nose, reducing swelling. works for...

Thanks for the tips guys! I went ahead and tried the boiling water and towel blackdog, worked very well... although I used tea, haha. xD That sounds crazy cincinnati but I'll give that a try when I'm at work tomorrow and can't use towels, lol.
