A common reason for sticking would be the sliders that the caliper rides on getting worn and jamming. I had one stuck so hard, I had to cobble a puller together to free it. Once free, I got some new sliders and seals, and used some Permatex synthetic brake caliper grease when I put them back together. If the brake pads are wearing unevenly, this is a sign of stuck sliders.
