It isn't stuck if you notice the the pistons have grooves
in them. You have to use a special brake tool to rotate
them back into place. You may have damaged your
caliper by using a c-clamp if you put too much pressure
on it.

You can purchase the tool from autozone or advance
auto or the like it is about 10 bucks.

You can also use a needle-nose pliers. Place them in the indentations in
the piston and turn.

True you could use needle nose but isn't the fun of
working on your car, the excuse to buy new and
different tools. Works great for my wife lol
