Default parking brake got stuck rx330 2004

Dear all
I often used (always) parking brake.
Today I pressed it hardly down, then got my left foot out of the pedal, when I tried to press on it again to release it, it got stuck, did not release, I pressed on very hard all way down. It got stuck. I changed the gear beack and fore to neutral, parking, press not press the main brake at the same time. Nothing changed.
Can you please help, thanks.

@Rainbird.
I saw this, tried following the first part he mentioned (applying only parking one), did not work. I did not touch the things described in part 2 (the open side of parking brake stuck with adjacent one) as I am not very handy and rarely open anything but the hood.
Just wander if there is anything else before calling insurance road assistant number (the car is in garaje now).
thanks for trying anyway

Hopefully someone will chime in with other ideas. Worse case you may need to have it towed to a shop.
