Default EB locking up.

Recently purchased a C6 with 24K miles. Several times EB has locked up making it very difficult to disengage, keeping me stuck in parking lot. I'm not pulling it on that hard but it will continue to click back as I attempt to release it. Today had to drive it in gear slightly, heard a clunk and was able to release it.
New member and any advice would be welcome.

Not enough details to say, because your post was very vague on details as to what is happening and how.

Did you recently wash it? did it rain?

Again, not enough info from you to answer.
