I Would Try This...
First, a call to George Pavlisko at Leatherique as suggested would be a good idea.
Not having done so, I would start with some naptha (lighter fluid) applied to a cloth, and try to pick and wipe back against the spot to remove the tar without spreading it around. The naptha is a petroleum distillate so it should work as a solvent for the tar without adding the oils that are in tar & bug removers (designed for exterior, not interior use). Once you have the majority of it removed, then use more naptha to remove the last bit of residue, then some saddle soap or proper leather cleaner, followed by an application of your favorite leather dressing/preservative.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes...
