What did I do wrong?

I was with a woman I've been seeing for awhile. We were kissing on the sofa and I kissed her hard and pressed her down. She started to panic and pulled away. She said she felt trapped and asked me to leave. What did I do wrong?

Probably nothing. Take her at face value: she felt trapped. One of the great fears women have when dating someone is being hurt: physically and emotionally, it could be she had a moment of fear.
If this is someone you like a lot and care about as a person and as a potential partner, don't abandon her. Give her a few days to collect herself, if she doesn't call you, send her a note-handwritten, not email, saying you hope she's doing fine and you would like to see her again. If she wants to talk about what happened, fine. If not, fine.
Chances are, she will tell you what happened and together you can create a plan for intimacy that won't frighten either of you. Be prepared to take things slower, a woman always has the final say about how far and how fast things progress.
