It means avoiding the bad consequences of something you've done. Some examples:
"He committed a crime, but the police were stupid, so he got away with it."
"I lied, but she believed me, so I got away with it."
"I went out with my friends when I should have been studying, but the exam was postponed, so I got away with it!"
"I'd leave work early today if I could get away with it."
