No, in fact once it is encased in the pillow case it'll generally just sit there calmly, especially when it is hanging in the air.
But carry it with outstretched arm by the knotted top if it makes you feel better and it won't be able to bite you even if it wants to.
Again, kingsnakes aren't poisonous so generally they aren't looking to bite anything except as a mechanism to get a good grip for wrapping and strangling. When it can't do the latter, it generally won't do the former.
If I were in the house trying to remove it I would just grab it by the tail and drag it backwards quickly (the snake is going to be busy trying to go in the direction opposite of the pull) outside but if you're afraid of them you're likely to have a mini-freakout once you've got a hold of it.
