Adjust the brake pedal / booster. If the master cylinder doesn't return to the full out position when the pedal is not pressed, the brakes will gradually drag and lock.

Try just moving the brake light switch so the pedal comes up higher. If that doesn't let it come up higher, adjust the nut on the inside (brake pedal side) of the booster. Also I think the pin on the output side of the booster that presses the master cylinder is adjustable.
