How do you release the parking brake on a Honda Odyssey?

Your parking brake was engaged too hard.

Why does my Honda Ridgeline have a stiff brake pedal?
Failing batteries can cause all sorts of odd behavior, but they won’t cause a firm brake pedal. The conspiracy theorist in me says that Honda used master cylinders with insufficient capacity (per the brake thread) and is treading a fine line of overfilling said cylinders, thus leaving insufficient room to maintain proper vacuum.
What causes the brake pedal to be firm before starting?
If there’s no vacuum left in the brake booster when you press the brake pedal before starting, the pedal will be firm and it won’t matter what condition the battery is in – the vacuum assist won’t be present to lower the pedal until after the engine starts.
