disc brake calipers

got trouble, went to try and replace my brake pads on the rear, used screw driver to pry the piston in on the right side, went to the left side and it wouldn't budge at all, if the emergency brake cable has any tension on it will that cause my piston to not go into the caliper, or is my caliper just frozen up ? if it is frozen up how hard & what to do to make it work again ?
