I get a similar sticking on the EPB but on seemingly random occasions. I have not yet been able to discern a set of common conditions udner which it happens.

There's a bit in the manual about manual release of the brake (wire loop accessed in central console) - bound to be better than the 'drive-off' approach. Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

Pads stuck to rusting discs - ignore it. Under certain circumstances you can experience this even overnight if it has been very wet, then dry. The manual release won't make any difference.
