The p-brake has two brake shoes, only one develops good braking power in one direction due to the mechanics of 'leading' shoe designs. Bottom line is remove caliper, rotors and clean and lube the mechanism. Inspect the lever at the back and the cable sheath for damage/rust/water. When a shoe sticks, get moving a slowly in each direction and apply the p-brake. This can shock things loose and you might hear a rather loud bank as things shift.
If the problem is ignored, the shoe$ will drag and wear out. This design sucks and I have dealt with it since the 60's. There are cable operated caliper designs that are trouble free, lighter and cheaper to build, which have been around for around 20 years that I know of.
