If I were to theorize that this were a real interview question (which, again, it's not), then I think the first step is to ask a bunch of questions. Almost any solution to this problem will be making a bunch of assumptions, and you probably need to know what those are.
* Okay, your density is the same as it was before being shrunk. What else has changed about your body? Muscular strength? Brain capacity?
* Can you assume that this is an ideal world? For example, if the blades were perfectly balanced and there was no wind / air movement, you could stand in the middle.
* What are the dimensions?
* Is there anything in the blender?
... etc ...
The best solution would depend on which assumptions you make. Any of these could be reasonable answers with different assumptions:
* Jump (an ant or spider could... I think)
* Climb out / above the blades (it's possible the walls have grooves where you can fit your tiny little hands)
* Stand on top of the blades, at the immediate center
* Lay down
* Swim out (if there's something in the blender)
* Lay on top of a blade, clutching onto it
It's all about your assumptions.
