The astronauts on the ISS that are stuck and can’t parachute back to Earth… but why not?

The highest jump I could find was 39km (Stratos jump)

Is it the height from the planet? The speed of the ISS? If we wanted to design ISS escape pods, what would be required?

Atmospheric drag would probably light you up. Maybe someone more versed in physics could go deeper on this.
