That usually means the linkages have gotten gummed up with dust 
impregnated grease.

The only real fix is to open the door panel and clean everything and 
re-grease it fresh.  WD40 is a decent solvent and cleaner to get rid of 
the old crap and that white lithium grease is good for replacement. 
They even have it in spray cans now for this.
