Sounds like the cable might be binding. I don't know if this will apply to your car, but it might help: http://www.contour.org/FAQ/FAQ.php?s=probs&displayid=2

Haha, took off my console to see if i could fix it. Low and behold a nickel had gotten in there because of my ebrake boot tabs being broken  . New ebrake boot time i guess...

I noticed my e-brake was hard when I first got the car, went up about 3 clicks, then i got angry one day since i couldnt roll it (like you tried) and pulled very hard on the e-brake. i think i damaged something tho.... only do in case of emergency i guess....
