You can also just try to drop the wheel back to the ground twist the jack to lower as fast as you can.
Both of those tricks have served me well.

I had a couple of sticky wheels too. I put on new rotors this winter and the wheels still had trouble going over the new rotor hub rings. So the corrosion/buildup was actually on my wheel and not the rotor hub ring. A little scour pad action on my wheel hub bores and the wheels go on and off much more nicely.
When I was trying to get these wheels off one took quite a bit of pounding and wiggling to get it off. It made me think that I'm glad I was doing this in my garage and not changing a flat on a cold night on the side of the road trying to karate kick a seized wheel off of the hub.
