I assume this happened at someone else's house, or you wouldn't be so concerned with the etiquette around it at your own. That assumed, WHY would you "fart" at the table? Being invited to a dinner means you should act respectably. You would be horrified if your host served your meal on the toilet, so why dishonor your host by farting at her table!
Once your faux pau has gone beyond gross to disgusting, the only way you can possibly excuse yourself in an adult fashion is to ask to see your host in private and explain that your system is upset and you need to go home. Ask her for a plastic bag in which to sit on in your car and leave. Do not even dishonor her graciousness by cleaning up at her house!
And next time, take Immodium before you leave your own home!

"May I be excused to go to the bathroom?" Then wait for permission. After a pause say, "Thank you". Watch Ruprecht in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for more reference. The key is to remain totally calm and pretend that you meant to do it.

Hmmm...anyone who purposely farts at the table should have to sit there and marinate in it.

Say:
"I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I had a little accident. The good news is that I am no longer full of $hit!"

then excuse yourself to the bathroom.
