I have a BMW that has nearly identical rear brakes to the 9-5 and had similar symptoms. If you want to know which wheel it is, put the back of your hand on each rear wheel after a four or five mile drive. The one that feels warm (or hot)will be the offending one.
It's not usually the piston that hangs up, it's one of the pins that the caliper body slides on. If the boot around a pin is compromised, water will get in there and corrode and hang up the pin. The solution to this is to disassemble the caliper and then remove the pin and wire wheel it, or replace it. Put some Syl-Glide silicone lube on the cleaned or new pin to make the brake caliper slide more easily.
