If it's a 7AT, the manual says you can't move it out of park unless the ignition switch is in the on position. That seems to indicate you can't. I'd imagine you either have to jump-start it or call Infiniti Roadside assistance to charge it. If the car's in a position where you can't get close enough to jump it, I'd imagine you could remove the battery and take it somewhere to charge...
Unless someone else knows some way to hack it.

It's in your manual.
Shift lock release
If the battery charge is low or discharged, the
selector lever may not be moved from the P
(Park) position even with the brake pedal depressed
and the selector lever button pushed.
To move the selector lever, perform the following
procedure:
1. Push the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK
position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Remove the shift lock cover sA using a
suitable tool.
4. Push down the shift lock sB as illustrated.
5. Push the selector lever button sC and move
the selector lever to N (Neutral) position sD
while holding down the shift lock.
Push the ignition switch to the ON position to
unlock the steering wheel. Now the vehicle may
be moved to the desired location.
If the battery is discharged completely, the
steering wheel cannot be unlocked. Do not
move the vehicle with the steering wheel
locked.
If the lever cannot be moved out of P (Park),
have an INFINITI dealer check the automatic
transmission system as soon as possible.
