The body is prone for a few seconds under the rubble before it slowly melts into the dark oil as it tries to reform itself. It's definitely enough time for Tony to go over to Pepper and allow her to escape. The attack seems to have disrupted the spell which makes it easier to clear the rocks that hold her still.
