Inflating a deflated Presta tube?

Any tricks to inflating a Presta valve tube from a completely-deflated state?
Pulled out my bike for first time I a while, tires were flat. When I open the presta valves (unscrew them for inflation) and try to put my Blackburn AirTower 2 AnyValve pump over the Presta valve , I can't get it to inflate: all that happens is I press down on pump and then the pump pops off the valve , it's as if the Presta valve is screwed close but I double-checked it's not. Any tips or tricks to get the Presta valve to start taking in air?
