you might need to tighten your parking brake cable...

Tighten it and your problem should disappear.

Confirm the cable isn't seized up inside the housing, particularly the lines running from the center of the car to each wheel.

its either your cables seized up or your calipers seized up. Hopefully its just your calipers since it's an easy fix. Cables are a pain to replace since you have to drop the exhaust, remove all those heat shields that have bolts that like to snap off, and have to remove the center console to get to the cables.

good luck.
