Have you figured out what's hanging it up?

Next time it sticks, look at the linkage and see if you can tell where or what it is that's causing it to stick. Manually blip the throttle and see what happens when the idle drops.

It shouldn't be too hard to tell when the throttle rod isn't in the home position. It's either rubbing or caught on something or some other portion of the linkage is stuck somewhere. Maybe it's even your gas pedal hanging up on the hole in the floorboard.

My problem was the set screw nut on the manual throttle cable hanging up on the throttle rod.
