I have never let a hand brake drop. I always push it down while pushing the button on any vehicle.

Here's what the owners manual says:

To release the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down. Pull the parking brake lever up until you can press the release button. Hold the release button in as you move the brake lever all the way down.

first time Chevy owner? I've had two Camaros and in both of them I had to push the lever down after pushing the button.
