I'm not sure about other locations, but at Dulles you can ask the exit attendant to give you a transponder.
Ditto on the Ohio Turnpike; good luck exiting with PlatePass. The gate will not raise unless you have a functioning EZPass or iPass transponder. There are gates in all lanes.
The Kansas tollway is another road I can think of where you will encounter that situation. What's worse is, they have their own proprietary "Kansas Pass", which is not compatible with EZPass or iPass. So even if you come prepared with your own EZPass, it won't work.
