A couple of gentlemen in the PD exercise group that I co-lead have told me that they've found a laser pointer to be helpful in such situations. They say that, when one foot freezes, as you describe, they shine the pointer in front of it. The spot on the floor gives them a focal point (or maybe distracts them from the anxiety over the frozen foot??) and makes it easier to then move the foot forward. Fortunately, I do not yet have these difficulties, so I cannot say that I have any first-hand experience with this technique.
