All my Parker cases contain either a 3"-4" pc of 5/16" dowel or, better yet, a cut off wooden pencil with the eraser left on to use to push down on the lever release. I would not recommend anyone use anything metal to push down on that thing. I've seen a lot of them that were dinged up from that.

I remove the spring from a wooden clothes pin and use the clips. I keep a wooden clip in every gun case. Then I hear my wife ask “why are you taking apart my clothes pin?”.
