Just off the top of my head, it sounds like the brake pads (shoe and drum, correct??) on that wheel are sticking to the drum until you rock it enough to break it free. This is a common problem with brake shoes, especially if the brake is held engaged for a long time.
The best thing to do is rebuild the brake, i.e., new shoes, springs, and wheel cylinder. But try a good cleaning first. Use brake cleaner (in a spray can) and a basin to catch the run off. NO COMPRESSED AIR. If the drum won't come off, try tapping the drum with a mallet, but place a block of wood between the hammer and the drum so you're not hitting it directly (they could break). Here's more help getting that drum off http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/brakes/bt105.htm
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
