In a situation where I've failed to bench bleed, I remove the bleed 
screw or fitting, and put a thumb over the opening.  Then have an 
assistant pump the pedal.   The thumb acts as a kind of check valve, 
letting air and fluid out while preventing air from flowing back in.  
This usually gets things flowing pretty quickly.

And yes, I had to do this just last week.  *sigh*
