Go to rear of car and wiggle, pull, push on the cables that go into the rear brakes. Sometimes this is all that needs to be done to release the brakes, then I suggest lubricate the brake cables, and/or inspect rear brakes. If this don't help, you could try to use some warm water and pour it over your brake drums, as snow and ice can freeze them up. Try a hairblower if its below freezing. If your brakes are not locked up, make sure your pedal return spring is working properly, sometimes its on the pedal, but most times its under car attached to the cables somewhere.

Hi :)
Very common problem do loads. You need to lubricate the handbrake linkage under the rear seats ( the bit ur bum goes on). If you have a estate car then the seats will flip up but if its a saloon car then you will have to remove 2 13mm nuts for either side seat. When ur under there, u will see a little black panel in the middle, remove it 2 8mm self tappers and a 13mm nut. right you should now see the linkage where the cable splits to either side of the car. Get a load of wd-40 and spray whilst some else operates the handbrake 100 times or so. sorted! Dont forget to adjust the handbrake at the wheels after, go all the way with the adjust and back off two clicks either side.
Hope this works and good luck1

Get the "Shop" to come back out to fix it or sue the *** off them for leaving you with a dangerous car.
No handbrake is an offence !!!

handbrake jammed on somewhere ,could be front cable ,because the rear cable is pulled by the compensator so if it was the rear one then i would expect only one cable siezed and that is normally the kerbside one.

you need to inspect the cables for binding and it checks good then your cables might be pulled out or the actuator at pedal is stuck most GM come a release at assembly ,you may have feel around for it by the actuator just above the pedal .
Testimonial: "Finding the accutuator helped me to release the brake. I will need to disassemble the release as it appears there is another problem. Thank you!"

You could have a sticking cable to one of the rear brakes. Need to inspect it from below. If you do a lot of off-roading the cable may only need lubricated.
