Thank you all for the comments. Yes, I am aware of how to operate Airbus flap handle. Having said that, I must add I had never encountered such a sticky handle in old A300. A330 handle seems to be more sensitive in locking device.
My recent flights taught me that if I lift the lock SLIGHTLY toward the direction of my intended move of the flap setting, I could avoid getting stuck. Not sure if this is the correct way or not but so far it's been working...
Anyhow, thanks again, folks. Safe flight.
