Taking the carpool lane will most likely compound the problem. Better to call them from a cell and explain the situation, apologize for delaying Mr. Gates as you're sure he is very busy. And ask if they would like to reschedule at his convenience or wait for you to arrive.
This shows that you trust people (even someone as high up as Mr. Gates) to be understanding when events are out of your control. And you are willing to make it up when they are available.
Otherwise you might have to explain that you couldn't call right away because you were getting a ticket and the officer wouldn't let you make a call. Or you would have to lie altogether.
