your cable is probably stuck. take it to a pro he'll have to get underneath and see if he can free the cable up.

E-brakes are pretty simple in design, its probalby something snagging the cable or you droped one to many ... quaters? into that nice little dust cover that protects the e-brake lever slot that it comes out of. If could just as easily be some crap that's fallen in there and wont let the brake lever fully lower. get a flashlight and start checking.
