If a "clear line vty X", where X is the stuck VTY, does not work, your best and cleanest option will be to reload the router. Can you still log into the router, but one VTY is stuck, or can you no longer log in, except on the console?
Sometimes things like this happen because of code bugs, resource exhaustion, etc, so taking a 5-10 minute outage to reboot the router might not be a bad idea, and a much better idea than letting the router crash on its own. That might also be a good opportunity to determine if your router should be running a more recent IOS image to address code bugs, security vulnerabilities, etc.
Getting slightly off topic, most ISPs have provisions in their service agreements to do normal maintenance as needed, or at least during scheduled maintenance windows.
