lightly left foot brake for a bit & see if that clears it. Also, drive slowly & pull the handbrake up a little. Hopefully this will clear it. If this does not work you may have pitted the discs if they were wet when parked up.

Tap the rear brakes with a hammer or something with the handbrake off, always works for me You can use a jack handle or something and do it without removing the wheels
