Citroen Picasso Clutch problem

I know the answer will probably be to go back to the garage but just wondered if anyone here has experienced a similar issue?
Had the clutch replaced on a Citroen Picasso 3 weeks ago, since then the biting point feels different and the car seems to grumble a bit in first gear. Two days after the job was stationary and pressed the clutch down to go into first gear but the clutch pedal got stuck and wouldn't release, and the gear box became stuck as well.
By luck this happened very close to the garage in question and one of the engineers came along pulled up the clutch with his hand and pumped it a few times to get it going again. The garage looked over the car again, but couldn't find any leaks or faults.
Since that time the same thing has happened again twice, in both instances pulling the clutch back up and pumping it a bit gets it going again. Clearly something is up, just wondered if anyone has experienced similar or has any suggestions?

It could be air in the system, the clutch needs bleeding i think, ive had a similar problem in the past“People are caught up in an egotistic artificial rat race to display a false image to society. We want the biggest house, fanciest car, and we don't mind paying the sky high mortgage to put up that show. We sacrifice our biggest assets our health and time, We feel happy when we see people look up to us and see how successful we are”
