The easiest way for that to happen is for them to have a near-miss assassination or other attack that gets the point over, at the start of the February Revolution or earlier.

First, the Czar and his family weren't popular in Britain. Their very presence risks sparking a revolution. Similarly, no neutral country wants them either. The Czar understands he's a burden but the few countries that would take him in are either British colonies or republics. Which as the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, don't really work for him.

However, Russia has a long-standing relationship with Serbia. The Serbian king, government and army are in exile in Salonika, because Austria-Hungary has occupied Serbia. I'm pretty sure the Serbs would accept the Romanovs as "guests" if the deal was sweetened with some arms shipments from the British. This will make the situation in the Balkans
even more complicated.
