Oneself. It should really be "squeeze into", with the locative idea
baked into the verb.

Marc Okrand's description of its usage in the qepHom interview was
very specific: "The object of this verb is the space — like a small
car or a crowded elevator — being squeezed into, and this includes
clothes or shoes that are too small."
