How about httptunnel?

You need to be able to execute the client side part on the machine
you're connecting from.  If this isn't possible and the remote site lets
you connect to port 80 directly (not through a proxy) you should be able
to run an SSH server on port 80 (it might work even with a proxy,
although you'll need to run something like PuTTY which supports proxied
SSH).

All that said, if they won't open port 22 then they might not be too
happy with people 'circumventing their access controls'.

OK,
