   start car up and drive it backwards and forwards, that should free everything

   Let the handbrake off take a drift and a hammer and belt the drums hard on bothsides. That should sort it. The shock will release the shoes from the drum.

   if it turned a little bit theres a possibility that the lining has come away from the actual shoe and jammed the brake

   As above, sounds like the friction material has come off the shoe.
   
   Had a callout the otherday to fit some shoes for someone as they couldnt even reverse the car off their drive to get it on a flatbed.
