I fixed it! Thanks. A drop or two of WD40 oil sorted the sticking return mechanism, snap the cover back on - fixed.
For anyone who's wand was stuck in an extended position, I followed the instructions to remove the button cover and everything looked totally fine, so I put it back together, pushed the button down, and whacked the bottom of the wand against the floor to force the wand to collapse and now it works fine. YMMV lol
