Hi all - the back left wheel on the C70 is stuck. Thankfully, it's in my garage. I had been sitting there for about 5 days with the emergency break on. I went to back out, and it felt like the brake was still on. I figured I could just tap the gas hard one time and it would "pop out"...but that didn't do it. It just left a little skid mark.

Any thoughts on what needs to be done to get rolling again? All thougts are appreciated.

Your garage floor is too slippery!! If it is like mine, painted, put the car in neutral with a 2X4 block of wood about 1 inch infront of the front wheel and another about 1 inch behind the front wheel.
Then "rock" the car back and forth by pushing on the front or rear bumper. You could "rock" the car using the engine and tranny, but that is particularly hard on the tranny, unless you have a manual.
Usually, going in reverse is harder to unlock the wheel than going forward, but you need to try both.

After the wheel is unlocked, take the car up to about 20mph and gently, but with a little force, pull up on the ebrake handle and let the brake shoes clean off the brake drum. This may take several hundred feet, but will clean off any rust.

Klaus - thanks for the tip. I do indeed have a painted garage floor, so I figured that may be the culprit. I tried rocking the vehicle as suggested...nothing, stuck. But it's a manual, so I decided to try to force it loose that way. Nothing. So I gave it a quick pop to really give it a good jar. Once I got off the slick garage floor surface, I skidded about 5 feet on the regular concrete driveway. (!)

So I skidded the car back into the garage, and I'm back at the computer now, pondering what gremlin has worked it's way into my emergency brake. It's the left rear wheel, for sure, as evidenced by the skid mark in my driveway that the wife is positively loving. Do I jack up the rear end and us a bar to break it loose? Or?

Thanks again in advance, all.
