Mine does that!. Both sides, though!. Never gets stuck, really, but it feels like it is!.
Look up TMJ syndrome!.

Often, it's no big deal!. Mine's done it for 15 years (possibly longer, but 15 years since I was diagnosed)!. It doesn't get in the way of much!. For the most part, I just make sure not to open my mouth all the way!. I also don't chew gum!. Ever!. I haven't chewed gum in 15 years!.!.!.!. my doctor told me not to!. Since I stopped chewing gum, it's gotten better!.
So, you can go get it checked out if you want, but it's not anything horrible serious!.!.!.!.
Unless you've got lock-jaw due to tetanus or rabies (unlikely) then you don't need to start wigging out!.
