Larry, I've got the Metz 58 AF-1, but I think it is similar. If the "Press" button seems to be stuck part way in, I would mess around with pressing it in different ways while simultaneously slightly twisting the horizontal bounce. You may find that the button releases (or goes in further). Mine seems a bit wonky at times (I can press the button in and it will stay depressed by itself, like it has gone too far into the casing and one side it caught underneath the edge of the hole that it depresses into. Playing around with it has (so far) gotten it to spring back out. Hope your does the same (although I'm guessing you have already tried this).
