I know a trick for seized callipers that works better than compressed air - a grease gun.
Hold in the working piston with molegrips (and bits of wood to protect the metal, obviously), screw the greasegun end onto the bleed nipple and pump. The calliper will fill with grease, and the piston should slide out, easy as you please.
