you are doing back brakes aren't you?
the pistons will probably screw back in...not push in. There are notched on the piston that will allow you to either use a spanner wrench or similar special tool (or needle nose plyers if you are handy)
make sure you line the notches up with the pads..there are little "dots" on the pads that fit into the piston notch

Rear pistons are twist and push in type. You did not state which end of the car you were working on. Front pistons I use 2 foot long channel locks. Caliper compression tools are for rent at auto supply stores. And Northern tool Harbor freight has China Caliper tools for $30 To 45 dollars they will work for about ten caliper compressions before the tool's roll pin breaks. My Snap- On tool was $250

If you're doing your rear brakes, you have to disconnect the emergency brake cable.

open bleeder valve and see if they will go back if not piston is out too far and will have to be rebuilt or replaced
