To return to your Home Screen, simply use an upward flick-gesture from the bottom edge of the screen.


If instead you wish to open the App Switcher (Exposé) view, swipe-upwards from the bottom edge to the centre of the screen - and briefly pause before lifting your finger from the screen.

That's because these are forums, not chat rooms. Volunteers answer on a time-available basis. Apple does not respond here. Volunteers cannot respond in only two minutes. If patience is an issue, you need to call Apple support, not post here.


For your current issue, see this page from the online iPad Users Guide:
