When I am traveling straight in my 2008 Hyundai Elantra (21,000 miles), I have to constantly correct the steering. It has a 'sticky' feeling and never centers properly at any speed. Any ideas as to what may be causing this problem?

Your car's front end needs re-alignment, or your experiencing Underinflation. This can cause the car to drift to either sides, it will drift to the side with the lease amount of air.

Like he said, check tire pressure. Also, I recommed checking steering components such as tie rods, ball joints.
