Am currently out on the road and the front brakes have gradually seized up. I've ridden about 20 miles, any swift quick fixes would be appreciated!
 
I don't think there's a quick safe fix. We rebuilt David nimrods ate callipers a couple of weeks ago. Crud had gone under the rubber seal and rusted the Pistons preventing them from returning into the caliber body.

You could let it all cool down and see if the wheel turns but to be honest your probably best to get it trailered back and strip the calliper.
