In addition to the other suggestion out here (warped key, nylock nut
not adjusted correctly, etc), a likely candidate for a sticky key is
the pin under the front of the key.  The felt inside the hole under
the key sometimes expands, and the key sticks a bit on that pin.

Streetly has a special tool to fix this---it's probably something
someone who makes or repairs pianos would have.  See "The Crimper":

I don't have one of these, so when I had the same sticky key problem
in #1037, I took a flat blade screwdriver, put it in the hole, and
pressed it against the sides of the hole (holding the sides of the
key, of course, as you can snap the wood, which would be very
bad---maybe put the key down on its side to get the sides of the
hole).  I also turned the blade a bit and listened to the crunch of
the felt as it got compressed back down.  Be very careful not to snap
the thin wood on the sides of the key.  Basically you just have to
crunch the felt back down to where the pin rides in the center of the
hole again without getting stuck.  It did the trick for me.
