Default DIY Oil Change

Well I did it... I took the plunge and did an oil change at home... Not too bad! Went to Mobil 1 synthetic... I think Maggie likes it!! My only question is this- Before I removed the filter, I removed the cap on the bottom of the filter cover, pushed the little orange button in and expected the oil in the filter to drain out- It didn't, and when I unscrewed the filter housing, of course I had a mini-gusher and got oil everywhere. What's up with that??? I'm pretty sure I had the button fully depressed. Am I missing something else??
