Actually sticking TB plates is most likely. Can of TB cleaner and some seafoam in the tank might clear that up.

I was out "racing on a track safely" one night and at the end of one of the runs, my throttle was stock at WOT!!! WTF?!?!
I quicky feathered the clutch back to the parking area, killed the engine and popped the hood.
Throttle return spring had broke!!
Luckily a pair of needle nose pliers bent the remaining spring piece enough to make a new one and it worked fine to get home.

Your lucky it only got stuck at 20% throttle and not WOT. In any cause I agree with everyone else, clean the throttle body and check the throttle cable to see if its snagging on anything.

I will definetly be checking all of the above if there is a particular throttle body cleaner that is better than the rest chime in and any other ideas too. I am completly puzzled about it.
