A friend of mine tells me he never has a problem with this; he soaks
the caliper in oil overnight or for a day.
I know I have clamped the piston that moves easily with some wood and clamps
and then use air pressure to get the other piston to move.
I have not tried this on a caliper but I have had good results soaking parts
in ATF overnight; they easily come apart.

Subject: [Tigers] Break Caliper Pistons
Hey,
I'm having some trouble getting the pistons out of the front brake calipers
(the car has been sitting for something like 25 years). On each caliper I
was able to get one piston out using compressed air but I can't get the
other one to move. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe Brown
