Chain suck - What causes it and how to fix it?

Well, it happened. Twice, in fact. Commuting to work today for only the second time. Cold, windy, heavy back pack and POW! Suddenly the crank arms won't move. The first time I was able to get the chain unstuck from between the smallest chainring and the bottom bracket, but the second time it was stuck for good and I didn't have the right tools (or knowledge for that matter) to get it unstuck. I bailed and used the trusty cell phone to call in a ride.

How can I make sure this doesn't happen again? I'd really rather not go through these ribbings here at work because I had a bike problem.

If it helps any, 2002 Trek 1000 with Shimano Sora components.
