Well... I won't claim that rolling a folded Brompton is the absolute-easiest-thing-in-the-world, but it's pretty easy... but I mostly just pull the Brompton behind me as it rolls along, rather than pushing it. It is a little harder to turn a corner, but not overly so, and nothing that requires excessive force. As for extending the seat post so that it unfolds... uh... just don't extend it (?).
