But you would want to turn left, pushing your trailer into them, allowing you to eventually speed out of it. I also believe letting go of the sticks completely will help, because if your opponent ever stops accelerating you will be let free, and will have to accelerate at that point. Then again whoever is pushing you should never let go.

It seems to me that turning right into the pinning robot would be the thing to do to break the pin, especially if the pinning trailer is in your path to the right. If you turn to the left, you will be driving your trailer into them and they would push back on it and pull you back into the pin.
