By jumping
By spitting or sneezing
By rolling your body on the surface
By running on the plane

As no external force is acting on the person, thus the linear momentum of the system is conserved. Hence by spitting or sneezing or throwing any object in the forward direction, will recoil the person in the backward direction and the person can get off the frictionless horizontal plane.
