A couple of 12mm wrenches to adjust ( loosen) the cable on the parking brake will work wonders. Just don't loosen it too much.

Parking break won't release10 year old bike; has the parking brake cable ever been PMed and lubed??

not sure just got the bike all i do know is that it works fine until the temp drops to freezing or lower then it locks on
If you check the parking brake mechanism, it is a simple mechanical cog/pawl which releases when the pawl disengages. I'm guessing maybe yours needs lubrication. (A bit of lube solved an opposite problem when mine wouldn't engage.)
If the brake mechanism is working fine, as others have suggested, maybe the cable needs to be lubed.
