E Brake pulled too far

I pulled to emergency brake too far and it will not go back and the car will not move. What can I do? It’s (probably) not frozen or corroded it’s just been pulled too far. I don’t want to have to tow it but I’m not sure what else I can do to release my car

I didn’t think it could even go any further up but that worked thank you. I’m sure this was an obvious fix but I couldn’t find anything online that wasn’t about frozen brakes

You can also pull the console and release the pin for the handle, had to do this, my wife did it to mine a few years ago. The cables run right to the lever.

pull up further is good advice, on the same vein...... the steering wheel wont unlock aka you cant turn the key, you need to turn the steering wheel more IN THE DIRECTION THE WHEELS ARE ALREADY TURNED.....been there , done that
