I guess leaving a puddle of water in there will be more dangerous than getting her out to clean her, sitting in water could cause scale rot and other problems. I don't really see the harm, just pop her in a rub or something and try to be quick cleaning her out?

You did the right thing in my opinion, as above, better to disturb her than leave her in damp substrate which could cuase RI/scale rot... plus it sounds like you didn't even disturb her lol :)
