If someone got you into good Ushiro Kesa Gatame you are pretty much screwed. All you can do is to protect your neck from papercutter choke and your arm from armbar. Try turning into opponent as much as you can and free elbow, if possible. If your defense is succesful your opponent will try to switch position and you get a chance to escape in transition.
If he does not control your arm as shown below your chances to escape are higher if your opponent is closer to your hips. If his body is right at your armpit you are done. Fortunately, he cannot submit you, and he will try mounting you. You can try catching his leg, or prepare mount escape in advance.
If you managed to keep elbows to you body you get a chance to get out. Step out with your far leg and bridge on that leg while pushing his back with your forearms. Then bring your close leg to your elbow.
If he is close to your head, and your arms are under him without his control you can escape with forward shrimp.
