I believe the answer is:

urged

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'did some pressing' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't see how one could define the other.

This is all the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for urged that I've seen before include "Impelled - encouraged" , "Exhorted or prodded" , "Incited" , "Egged on" , "Beseeched" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
