When I get stuck on a particular scene (which happens quite a bit), what has worked most often for me is to pull out my overview and work on another part of the book for a while. Working on events planned for later (or earlier) in the novel will usually give me a fresh perspective on the scene I was having difficulty with.

Music and good coffee are my creative fuel of choice. Music provides the emotional stimuli for the mind and caffeine the needed spike to get those emotions written.
