You E-Brake could be stuck on, or rusted on to itself, or you may have a broken brake cable. The brake may "technically" be released, but the actual brake may be stuck.
Could also be a bad sensor.
You may also have a blown brake light. Check to see if it goes on for a few seconds when starting the car
EDIT: The brake light is also designed in some cars to warn you of low brake fluid. Check your manuel about your dash lights.
