Default Hand brake sticking.

Hi, put my car into local garage this week for new front pads and asked the guy to take a look at my handbrake shoes as they are sticking on now and again. He checked the shoes and said they were fine so cleaned them and adjusted them, but they are still sticking occasionally. He then said that maybe its the hand brake cable. Its not a big problem as when they do stick, as soon as I pull off they release. Anybody else had this problem or got any suggestions. The car is a 53 plate STi.
Thanks.
