Tandem button stuck.

My trailer takes a long time to build up enough air to pull the pins in. It's really annoying. You can have 125psi and the trailer all aired up immediately and the brakes free and air bags all inflated. Didn't matter. That button is a prima donna

Did you remember to set your trailer brakes? The slide button locks in while they're released

You need to cuss loudly at it.

If the button itself is stuck because of rust/dirt/whatever I either hammer it or wedge my sealcutter in and pry it open.

I have had this happened to me before. Assuming the OP isn’t a new driver, try using the claw hammer to pull the release slowly. Another scenario might be if this is a heavy loaded trailer, in that case I’ve found driving around the yard might release some tension from the pins

When in doubt locking pliers

Whatever you do, don't tell its stepbro.

If none of the pins are moving, it's probably air pressure. Could be tension from the truck slightly pulling on the trailer when you set the brakes, too. Release tractor brakes and see if you feel any movement, reset brakes and try again. If some pins move but others don't, they could just be stuck. Try knocking on them with a hammer and they might break loose. Hope this helps.
