Did the front pads just wear out? Did you have this issue prior to this repair? This happens when the brake booster push rod is adjusted out too far which does no allow the brake master to return fully holding the brakes on. To confirm the issue loosen the brake master mounting bolts 3 turns to see if the car starts to roll again, if so remove the master and adjust the booster push rod inward. Also a brake flex hose can come apart internally causing a short of check valve in the system but this is usually isolated to one brake either front or rear. If you mean sticking applied, try opening the bleeder and see if that releases the caliper. If it does, it could be bad brake hoses that have collapsed internally. Check out the diagrams (Below).

2. Remove the brake hose clip (A).
