If you have a local zoo that has something like a butterfly garden (an indoor enclosure that stays warm year round), check with them and see if they'll let you release the ladybug there. Since they're interested in helping insects, they may be fine with it. While ladybugs can be a pest to various crops, they're not normally hazardous to other insects.
BTW, I've done a similar thing (twice!) when I've found ladybugs in lettuce I've bought (organic, so I didn't have to worry it would have toxins). The lettuce was from California, and the ladybugs survived transport to another part of the US (and at least several days in my refrigerator!). One time, it was in late spring, so I just let the insect outside. But the other time was in mid-winter, so I contacted a local zoo (I have friends who work there, so it was a bit easier to get to the right person to ask) and they gave me permission to release the ladybug in their facility.
Please don't do this without their permission. There's always the possibility that your ladybug could be harmful to their collection.
Good luck!
