When the brake shoe and the drum are made contact with each other, the car will stop. Now, when the brake pedal is release the brake shoe is pulled away from the drum by the use of the retracting springs so that the wheel will turn again freely when the car starts to move again.
Since the problem is a partly on brake even when the brake pedal is release then it is a case of either stuck piston cylinder or broken shoe retracting spring which causes the shoe to remain in contact with the brake drum.
