Try to see of the handle is pushed all the way back toward the rear of the car. It may be that the handle has simply slid forward a little bit. If the handle is indeed all the way back, pull the handle off (by pulling it toward the front of the car), then checking if the button works. It may either be that the button is catching on the handle itself, or that something has happened to the spring. You can also pull up the parking brake boot (leather cover) to make sure the latch is working at the base of the parking brake lever. Good luck.
