Dale,
This is a good lesson for all. If you're going to use your autopilot, you need to know several ways to immediately disengage it *BLINDFOLDED*.
Here's my list:
1) Yoke disconnect switch.
2) The autopilot on/off switch
3) The circuit breakers (can you find them at ngith without a flashlight?)
4) The master avionics switch
5) The aircraft master switch
For the circuit breakers, you can either have your shop move them to a convenient memorable location (like last switches on the right on the bottom row), or there are plastic collars you can place on the breakers to make them easy to find by touch.
While we're at it, making the gear pump motor breaker easy to find is also a good idea.
