Summary:

In this Full Preterist interpretation, Jesus began binding Satan during His earthly ministry (Matthew 12:29). Satan was cast from heaven through Christ's victory then bound during the apostolic age so the gospel could spread to the nations (Revelation 20:1-3). Near the end of the Jewish age Satan was released for a "little season" (AD 64-68), producing great persecution and deception before Christ's judgment against Jerusalem and the close of the old covenant age. (Idea stemmed from Andre Curle, check out his website.)

Note: This is not my current view, but I find it interesting and thought it would be helpful to visualize the timeline of Satan's binding and loosing in a clear way. The key point is that Satan's binding and loosing is closely tied to Christ's ministry, the spread of the gospel, and the judgment on Jerusalem. I believe in only one 1,000 year period of Satan's binding, but this timeline shows how some interpret the events in a way that includes a temporary loosing before the crucifixion.
