I would do it in this order:
Check fluid level
If low top off
Bleed them either way

If this doesn't work or you can't find any problems then take it to the dealership. I don't know if you were just trying to reenact the symptom but there is no "spring" or return mechanism to the brakes, the hydraulics are what moves the pedal back up.
Deal with this soon.
