I sometimes do this manually if it seems reasonable.  I select the 
figure and invert the selection.  I apply a mild blur, the decrease the 
size of the selection, feather, and then apply a somewhat stronger blur. 
  I continue doing this until I get the effect I want.

This doesn't do exactly what you asked for, but it accomplished the main 
goal of separating the subject from the srroundings in what appears to 
be a natural way.
