You need to look behind the inboard caliper, there's an allen head screw, covered by a small rubber grommet. Just remove the grommet and use an allen head key to back it out. The caliper will then be able to retract. Once the pads are reset, tighten the allen screw back in and replace the grommet.

How do you change the rear brake pads on a 1998 Honda Accord?
The back brakes on my Honda Accord are disc brakes. After removing the brake cylinder assembly you will see the brake cylinder piston end has a slot in it. The short pin on the back side of the inner brake pad fits into this slot, but also it is used to 'Turn' (clock-wise) the piston back into the cylinder so you fit the assembly back over the new 'thicker' pads. You can not 'press' this piston back into the cylinder.

First you have to jack the car up after loosening your lug nuts and then you remove the wheel. After you do this, you have to pull the brake drum off. Next, dis assemble the brakes then disconnect the brake line from the wheel cylinder. Then you remove the two bolts holding the wheel cylinder on and put the new one in. Re install the bolts, and brake line, put the brakes back on, put the drum back on and bleed the brakes. Put your wheel back on and drive away.

The brake caliber is sticking if it has rear disc brakes. The rear wheel cylinder is sticking if it has rear drum brakes. Replace both rear units and then drain all the old brake fluid out of the system and replace it with fresh fluid. Bleed the brake system.
