Help! Christmas tree sap on my down parka!

Does anybody have any pointers on how to get sap off my coat? I also got it on my blue jeans. The parka is washable, NOT dry cleanable. I wondered about Goo Gone, which I have in the house. I also wonder about the orange hand cleaner, which has some grittiness to it.
Thank you all for any input you might have!

Thanks everyone,
My DH "googled" it this morning, and found the hand sanitizer idea. Eureka! You apply it liberally, work it in (use a soft toothbrush on tough spots), rinse and dry. It worked like a dream! I am waiting to see if there are any residual signs of the cleaning on the parka (after it dries completely) before I go through the trouble of actually laundering the whole thing. I need some tennis balls for the dryer when I do that, and I don't have any on hand.
Thanks for all your input!

lol peanut butter gets sap out of your hair too extremely well, this I know because while I watched my friend sheer her sheep I stood right under that lovely pine tree.. sap central. I was horrified then her husband said come here.. slapped Peanut butter on my hair (to my horror also) and low and behold instant presto my hair was untangled. They used it on their kids for gum. Duh. so did I. (2 and 2 are not always four if I have anything to do with it)
