If I stall a manual transmission car on the highway, will my wheels lock?

I'm curious (have vaguely tested my theory)...

I drive a manual transmission car, and I've noticed that if I am stopped on a hill in first gear and release the clutch, the wheels lock (and the car stalls). If I am driving on the highway (>100 kph) and my engine stalls, will the same thing happen?

If it does, what is your advice to avoid an accident? My thinking would be to switch to neutral and try to coast to the shoulder.
