Killing a hanged SSH session to get back to console

Sometimes I forget to terminate a SSH session properly from my laptop, just closing the lid and then away. One of the consequences are that active SSH sessions are terminated but they are not handing over the console. But there is a handy key combination that releases the console:

<ENTER>~.

That keycombo works on my Mac OSX 10.6.
