Automatic gear shifter sticking

I have a 2010 Vauxhall Corsa automatic with 23,000 miles on the clock. It has been serviced regularly and kept in a garage. Recently I've noticed that the gearbox lever is sticking, which makes it very difficult to select drive or park. This happens intermittently but almost daily. My local garage cannot find a fault, what should I do?

The problem is likely to be in the selector quadrant rather than in the transmission. I'd get it to a member of www.fedauto.co.uk

Solid and decently equipped. Reasonable handling and some frugal engines.
