Rear brakes locking

What can cause brakes to lock? My rear brakes seem to be locked. If I drive they dont feel lock but if im slowly driving or going on reverse they lock and sound like they are really tight and will not let the car move freely until I start going a little faster.

It could be your caliper(s) sticking and/or you might need to replace your brake lines (http://www.jatan.net/tsbs/041853.pdf)

Could be your E-brake lines not releasing your calipers.

What can be the cause of the E-brake not releasing the calipers?
What is the cost of replacing the brake lines?
Any good parts website for brake lines?
What can help me determined wether its the ebrake or just the brake line?

Another possibility is that your calliper pin could have froze up. When this happens the pads cannot release off of your rotor and you will burn up your pads in a few weeks if you keep driving it. Had this happen on my last car and burned up a pad in about 8 days, of course I didnt notice anything was wrong until I heard metal on metal grinding.
