Using levers is the only way I could raise my Xantia off the floor when fully depressurised,
A long bit of 2x4,CLS or larger and something under it to act as a fulcrum, close to the car.
Stick one end under the jacking point and put you weight on the other...now you need someone else to put a block under the sill and opposite sill.. keep on adding height to the fulcrum and the blocks on the opposite side.. you should be able to get enough height to get a trolley jack underneath.

If it's outside at the moment, could you dig a hole deep enough to get a jack under it? I've done so more than once.
