    Suggest you search for Wordpress Drop Down Menu to find a plugin you like.
    The easiest think to do is find a plugin that you can add where you want on your site - for example a sidebar widget?
    Here's a link to the first one that popped up when I searched: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dropdown-menu-widget/
    BTW I haven't tried it

    If you need sidebar widget than @seafrontsteve is right, if you need dropdown menu in post, search for form plugins

    I think it is even simpler than that guys.

    Use wp nav menu() in place of wp_page_menu(). You can then use the Menu building controls built into WordPress, and create as many drop-down levels as you like.

    Look at the TwentyTen theme, standard with all WP installs, for usage and CSS styling.
