You might try greasing the caliper slide pins. If that isnt the problem the rubber brake line might be bad, and not allowing fluid to return to the MC.

My left front was doing that and fixed it by cleaning the rust and crap for the clamp that holds the flex line to the upper control arm. The clamp had rusted up and pinched off the brake flex line so that the brake fluid could be pushed through on braking but blocked off when the brake peddle was released.
