A little brake fluid I seem to recall can be used to lubricate it and hopefully free it off.

With the pads out carefully spray wd or similar round the cylinder. Use the pedal to pump out the cylinder and then using a suitable flat lever force them back in to the caliper (you may  wish to loosen the fluid reservoir cap) and repeat until you've got free movement again. If you over spray onto the disc wipe of the excess and clean up with brake cleaner - any remnants will be burnt off by the pads.
