Remove the plastic panel behind the park brake switch, inside is a looped cable. It needs a really hard pull, but it should disconnect the park brake and allow you to drive it.

Make sure the battery voltage is ok as well because if it drops below 7.5 volts the module won't operate

When our D3 got jammed on (halfway up car park ramp, in the christmas rush) I managed to release it by turning off ignition, holding down EPB lever, turning on ignition, which reset the system as described on here somewhere (and luckily I read the night before the incident, after some screaming occurrences!)
