Over time an aluminum piston sitting in a steel liner equipped cylinder will form a corrosion layer that can pretty much lock the piston in the bore. If the corrosion on the piston isn't too far gone you can sometimes fix these problems by pouring a 4-6 ounces of WD40 in the spark plug hole and letting it sit for a few days. WD40 will usually break down the corrosion and free up the piston. Make sure you change the engine oil afterwards to flush out the WD40.
