altoids are godly. the school nurse at my school used to do this for whomever came in trying to get home for a stuffed nose.
take an altoid. put it in your mouth. close your mouth. chew it. BREATHE ONLY THROUGH YOUR NOSE. It's pretty much an insta-fix.

A couple of thoughts.
First, do you have a vaporizer? If yes, you can put Vicks in it and then sit back and inhale the steam. Works very well. A Vaporizer is different than a humidifer because humidifers are designed to work with water and put moisture in the air -- this would not be a bad option for you either -- but I like the vaporizer with the Vicks combo better. Can buy these in Walgreens, CVS or any pharmacy.
Second, do you have access to a Chinese restaurant? I swear by Hot and Sour soup. My boyfriend swears by the Hot Mustard but that's too hot for me :) I had a cold last week and went and got some soup. Something about the combination of the spices, the steam and the garlic, I guess, but it works. So does the mustard if you can handle the taste.
I'm sure there are probably nasal sprays, but when I'm really stuffy, I use either of the above.
Feel better!

In one hand, grab a tissue. Put tissue to nose and push one side of nostril. Blow open side into tissue. Repeat with other side. Discard of tissue and repeat process if needed later.

If you use a saline rise it really helps clear the nasal passages
