Hey Everyone...
When i learnt to drive i was told to leave it in gear at lights/when stopped with the clutched pressed right in...
My cars been fine doing this but now its started sticking, when i light my foot the clutch stays there for a second or two and springs out!?!
Anyone got any ideas before i take it to a garage?
Thanksss!

Just pointing out that being stopped at lights, in gear, with your foot on the clutch is wrong. It will also wear out your clutch rather more quickly than normal.

I'm not here to argue. Tho do bear in mind when you have your foot on the clutch it is in use, everything wears out quicker when you use it.
Some thoughts,

Then you aren't reading the road properly.
