When this happens to me, it's usually because I forgot to release the
parking brake after I put the rear of the car up on jack stands.
(administer self-dopeslap)

If that's not the case and they're just frozen on pretty solid, you need
to be more persuasive.  Get a piece of 2x4 lumber that's a foot or two
longer than the car is wide.  Prop one end against the back of a rotor,
so the free end sticks out from under the other side of the car.
Briskly administer BFH to free end until rotor makes huge clanging noise
by hitting floor.
