You need to hold down the power and home button at the same time to perform a Hard Reset

I'm confused about your Question!

Pressing the home button during a call should bring you to the Home Screen while still being connected to your call unless you answered it while you device was locked then you would need to unlock it with a swipe or Touch ID
