I do not believe there's any reference to an elven-queen in the Hobbit. There is an Elf King - Thranduil - but Bilbo is never trapped by him. Bilbo wears his invisibility ring and wanders through Thranduil's halls for over a week, stealing food and plotting to break the dwarves out of the king's dungeons. Bilbo is never trapped except by his loyalty to his companions. The text clearly states that Bilbo is capable of leaving the Elf King's halls at will and is described as following parties of elves out Into the Woods repeatedly: "Magic shut the gate, but he could sometimes get out, if he was quick" and "if Bilbo was very nimble, he could slip out just behind [the elves]; though it was a dangerous thing to do."

Of course!! Bilbo "wondered whether he ought not, now he had the magic ring, to go back into the horrible, horrible, tunnels and look for his friends. He had just made up his mind that it was his duty, that he must turn back-and very miserable he felt about it, when he heard voices."

Bilbo said, talking to himself, "what have i got in my pocket?" (it was the Ring). Gollum thought it was a riddle and Bilbo decided to make it one. he gave Gollum three chances to guess and gollum lost after four. then gollum went "to get something" (it was the ring), and Bilbo thought he was abandoned and left with the ring on. Gollum thought Bilbo knew the way out and he wanted to follow him, realizing Bilbo had the ring. Bilbo saw Gollum racing towards the gate and followed him to safety.
