Hitchhiking out
Take the metro to '''Haram-e-Motahar (حرم مطهر)''' (Red Line). Walk across Imam Khomeini tomb, under the highway bridge and South along the Freeway to the roadside parking just after the toll station. Overall it's more than 2km of walking but definitely worth it. You can choose your ride from all the cars with people taking a break.
 
''Redjo27 (Apr 2015): Maybe I was just stupid, but you should walk '''east''' around the tomb (don't enter), since the western way is blocked. At the northernmost point, there is a street going under the highway. Just follow that street until you get to the toll station. You cannot miss it''
 
''December 2016: There wasn't any street around the fenced tomb complex, despite my maps app showing little streets. '''I went inside''' without being asked for payment or bag check and walked just inside of the fence, there's sort of a ring road for taxis. On the other side (that's northwest btw) there's a gate again where I left the tomb's complex. Here is also the little tunnel under the highway to get to the southbound side. 1km to the toll station.''
''Even if one or both gates would be closed at night you can crawl under them.''
 
September 2017: I tried the option of the subway station ''Aftab Town (شهر آفتاب)''- "shah-r aftaab".
I took the line 1 towards Kahrizak, got off at Shahed and asked (without exiting the station, you don't need to pay again) when will come the next train to "shah-r aftaab". The train came 25 minutes later on the same platform.
When I exited the subway station "shah-r aftaab", the guards told me the exhibition center was closed, but I said I wanted to go on the highway, visible from the station, and they let me walk freely through the open fence surrounding the station. I walked 5 minutes to reach the highway. The emergency stop lane is wide enough for cars to pull in, so I didn't even walk to the toll station nearby. 5 cars stopped within 5 minutes, one taxi, one not my direction, I got on the third one. So this option offers decent chances I'd say.
 
November 2017:
Even if the metro is already going to Iman Khomeini Airport we got of at "shah-r aftaab" because it is close to the toll station. Just get out the main entrance of the metro station, walk left around the fence towards the highway and stop the cars. After one taxi, one not going our direction we took the third car direct to Qom. Waited all in all maximum three minutes.
