Sounds like the Brake Shoes (Drums) or Brake Pads (Disc) are sticking in the rear.

Don't know where you live at but here in NY, with all the rain we have been having, you can't help it.
Since the pads/shoes have a high metal content,
they tend to create surface rust when it is very damp.
Add to this the surface rust on the rotor/drum after it rains.
They just rust themselves to eachother.

It goes away when the humidity gets lower.
