Not particularly fair Phil -
First, when you say "sticking", do you mean:
- damper remaining off string, or string otherwise continuing to sound?
- key remains depressed?
- feeling of rubbing as key is depressed?

Surely you could give a little more in the way of a hint, eh?
Did you leave something in the piano?
