I tend to not use parking brakes myself, the only time I do is if parking on a hill where I cannot use the curb as a fail safe brake. what can happen is the pads rust to the drum and become somewhat bonded, or i realize i'm driving, and it's still on , by the smell ;-)
if the cables are ok maybe it just needs to be pulled out and lubed and put back. maybe graphite type lube is ok, or lubriplate tends to expel water there might be a rubber boot that goes bad where the cable enters the sheathing.
