if air is leaking out of the valve stem when you try to inflate the tire, you have a leaky valve stem. That part of the mystery is solved.
The tire is probably trashed.
I did the same to a rear tire with original Michelin Primacy. It didn't quite feel right, but didn't feel like a flat tire. I drove all the way to work, 17.5 miles, most on Interstate at 70+. My sidewall was cooked. Tire definitely trashed. If your sidewall is soft, it's trashed. But if you've got 45k miles, you've got your money's worth.

p.s.
Those Primacy's are one TOUGH tire.
