I had this problem with my Strange rear brakes.. the pads wore down to a point where the pistons would not return, causing them to drag.. the pads didn't look that bad, but I guess they were worn down just enough.. but looking under the car, you could see the pistons exposed way out of the caliper.. I have changed the O rings periodically, but changing the pads did the trick for me on this occassion..

Also, if you have recently changed the pads, make sure you have clearance to the rotor to begin with.. some are thicker than others..
