Just like any new A and S series Audi rear brakes, you really need a proper
tool to both rotate and compress the rear piston simulatneously.  Several
tool dealers sell full kits for under $70 (including me) which cover most
domestics and imports.  It's the same tool and adapter for VW and Audis.

Anyhow, be careful that you didn't pinch the dust seal/boot, and you must
rotate and compress at same time.  Might try lightly pumping the brake to
push piston out and try again (either barely move the pedal, or block the
piston from being blown out (wood works well).  When retracting, opening the
bleeder screw can help as well.

Best luck,
