Angry V70 brakes locked on

Spoiler
 
HELP PLEASE. Yesterday I was driving my Volvo V70 2.5T AWD on a 52 plate, home from Great Yarmouth. When suddenly, it felt like I was being pulled back. There was also a smell of hot brake dust. Pulled in to a carpark to find that the N/S/R brake disc was glowing red hot. Long story short. I rang the RAC and 8 hours later a local garage sent out a service van. The mechanic stripped the brake down because it was seized on! He could not get it un-seized so in order for me (By the way I am disabled) to get home he removed the calliper and clamped the brake line as a temp repair for me to drive the 4 miles to my home. However, the mechanic asked me to circle the carpark to make sure that the removed calliper wasn’t catching anything. But the car would not move!! All the brakes were on!! On the information screen it said “BRAKE ASSIST REQUIRES SERVICE”. Have any one of my fellow Volvo lovers come across this before. My local garage has given up on her.

Don't know. Replacing the stuck caliper and brake line is a trivial thing to do, so obviously you could have that done, but I don't know about the whole "all the brakes are on."
