Brakes Sticking

Hey,

My MY99 is having an unusual "problem". Sometimes, usually when the car is just starting up as well as when I've been driving in stop and go for a while, the brakes stick. The pedal goes down, I brake, then upon release of my foot off the brake pedal, it does not fully return to its original position. There is still braking pressure being applied, as I live in a hilly region, and I can rest at an incline in place without rolling backwards.

I've never had this problem before, but the brakes are in great condition, have plenty of power, are not scored, and the brake fluid level is at a perfect point. I'm doing some maintenance next week (spark plugs, oil change, air filter) and would like to fix whatever it is ailing me at the same time. Any suggestions?
