Or, put the car in drive and it will self-release. Not sure what year they stopped using that method but that is the way my 93 worked.

For the year the cables are most likely a little corroded. Replace the cables check the rear brake hardware/pads/shoes making sure nothing is broke or froze up. if they are disassemble applying brake grease to the proper pivot points and reassemble.
