 Could always cut hole in the pan.

Or use a marine pump to pump the oil out from the top.

 If you don't remove the plug you will never get all the oil/crap out.

I don't have any knowledge of those, but have you considered those
drive-onto ramps?

http://www.tracyvet­te.com/autoramps.htm­l seems a little expensive.
They are often on sale at auto parts places.

Rubs? I have not actually gone up mine forward that I remember. I
used jack stands when I changed oil, because I was doing something
else. Normally I have somebody else change oil if that was my only
reason for being under there.
My 91 Golf needed long wood boards to >get onto those ramps, major PITA especially when the car drops into the >groove between the end of the wood and the start of the lip where the tire >is suppose to sit - got a nice burning smeel from the clutch the first time >I drove up onto those ramps... Didn't want to overshoot them :-)­.

I did back onto them a few times when I was inspecting and adjusting
a muffler. I was also concerned with overshooting. So I sighted to a
spot on the driveway thru an open driver's door. I marked the spot.
I measured how much farther back I would need to go to be atop the
ramp. Then I would mark the adjusted spot with an item. I tended to
undershoot a tad, but was over the sloped part enough to ease back
into the tire indentation. These were very cheap and not tall ramps.
