WTF E-Brake locked?

Problem here, e-brake was pulled and now it WILL NOT disengage. I cannot get the e-brake to go back into its non-applied position. Something special we need to do or something? My button on it seems like its not really working, doesn't depress into the handle well; when I pulled the e-brake I didn't need to press the button either.

Wtf should I do? My car's braked, and I can't get it un-braked.

Might have to pull the console out to adust the screw on the latch.

is the button supposed to be depressed in order to return the brake to its off position?

was in the process of removing the console to install my new headunit, stupid me pulled the e-brake, no reason to since its flat ground and i ended up leaving the car in park anyway and not 1 like its written

You didn't mention that earlier, could be something fell in the teeths where the brake release is.

Victory!

Had to wiggle the button a little more, then it went in smoothly and I got the brake back down. Now I know not to use the e-brake anymore until I check it out.
