A baby is on daddy. "The baby is pressing on me."
A coke is on a vegetable in refrigerator. "The coke is press on the vegetable."

What is the correct word instead of pressing in sentences above.
 

Don't put the coke lying on the vegetable. It would crush the vegetable.

or

Don't put the coke on the vegetable.
It would crush the vegetable.
 
The second, but I would use "on top of the vegetable".
 
Either way, Coke has a capital C.
 
Generally, if you're talking about one specific vegetable - which I guess is the case, with Coke on it - it's far more common to call it what it is, say, a zucchini. Several different vegetables, you call "vegetables". We would rarely say of one, "Bring me the vegetable; add the vegetable, etc."
