Angry Parking Break PROBLEM

When I stopped, I pressed my handbrake. Then I got into the car, releasing my handbrake. All is well, the car moves freely, but on dashboard hand brake is on, and is beeping and flashing red RELEASE HAND BREAK. Help me out guys, its anoying, i cant listen to any music at all, and its driving me crazy.

While pulling the emergency brake release with one hand, pull the pedal up with the other hand.

See if that works?

Mine worked poorly from start and the dealer finally replaced the entire mechanism under warranty. Still doesn't work very well, but no longer seeing the light on the dash.

I got this problem all the time in the winter, until I started being aware and not engaging the break automatically when parking. It's not a problem in warmer months. Sometimes, I find that pressing and releasing the peddle with the release handle pulled allows the cable to get past the stickiness and fully disengage. it may need to be lubricated or replaced.
