Are you sure the pivot for the pedal is clean and lubricated? If neglected that can get so stiff the return spring isn't sufficient to pull the lever back up.

I've always kept my brake and gear levers clean at the joints ever since my rear braking went a bit spongy.
Crud can unwittingly build up over time and really affect braking.
Quick blast of brake cleaner is one way and an oil lube, or even just a spray of WD40 is good enough every month or so to keep rear braking in traffic really sharp.
