I would hope these brakes aren't like this, but on I think on a Ford Taurus you have to screw the piston into the caliper instead of just pressing it in. You could give that a try... The other thing is, maybe it's just stuck and you should get a new/reman caliper.

Yes, you have to screw the piston in to replace the pads.

There's a brake piston tool that attaches to any regular 3/8 ratchet wrench that I use when I work on my brakes. It's so much easier than using a C-clamp. I picked it up at a Autozone, ask around and they probably have it.
