I'm not sure what problem you are encountering exactly, but switching to another virtual terminal might still work. By default, the virtual terminals are linked to the F1-F8 keys, and the combo to switch from a graphical session usually is CTRL+ALT+Fx.

On that other virtual terminal, you might be able to kill KWin.
