The best thing to do in that situation is not move a muscle. Spiders sense their prey via vibrations, as they don't have very good eyesight. If you don't make too much movement, it might not sense you.

Afterwards, (if you have access to a fire source) don't try to ignite the web. Dry it out instead. If you can make the strands harden from the heat, you can break them easily. Spider webs are strong becasue of their elasticity. Remove that and they become brittle.
