Sticking Clutch Pedal Options

[vsideboy]

Ok, every day when I've been sitting at lights or in traffic with my foot on the clutch pedal, I go to let off the pedal and it bites immediately (no play at all) and the pedal only moves upwards about an inch. If I put my foot under the pedal and lift slightly then it springs back the remaining 3 inches it normally travels. When driving and changing normally it doesn't stick, and the biting point is about an inch from fully depressed, its only after having it depressed for a short while, whilst in gear.

If I don't have it in gear and depress it for a while then release it never sticks down. Any ideas?

Is there any joints that I could lubricate that may free it off (inside the car or in the engine bay)

I was hoping it wasn't that, but I cannot understand why it would stick in position then spring back when slightly lifted.

I thought there must be something getting stuck thats freeing itself when lifted slightly. Sureley if the seals have gone or there is air in it then it wouldn't stick, just fail to operate the clutch correctly.

Something is stopping the spring returning the pedal back to the top of travel occasionally.
