As the previous comment: If you can't fiddle it with a pin, the button is
stuck in the depressed mode.  You can take it apart. I did it once.  Very
carefully.  The clock is mounted on a crappy little circuit board, and the
crappy little buttons will fall right out onto your carpet or into the
steering column or...oops.  You follow me.  Have a bright light in the
cabin, and someone else to watch, and some patience.  There is no magic, the
button is just shifted into a position that won't let it come up.

Every Fall and Spring, I reset my clock for PST/PDT, with great trepidation.

No ideas on a fix, but my clock does exactly the same thing.
