Brakes?? (longish)

I smelled brakes today, so I pulled into a parking lot and sniffed the wheel areas for burnt pad. First only the left rear was an issue, so I jacked up the car, forced the wheel to rotate, lubricated the handbrake cable, and pushed the brake pedal a bunch. this whole process seemed to free up the wheel.
I begin on the highway again and my steering wheel begins to shake. I pull over and jack up the car to find the front left caliper to be frozen. the rear also has returned to its inoperable position.
I figure I need new rotors and the pads could use replacement, but what could cause only the left side to freeze? maybe the calipers aren't to blame...
Any ideas?
