Default rims "sticking" to discs

Have one of those first world problems.

After the speed event series day on Saturday up at Barbagallos, I found it very difficult changing the front rims over. The rims were firmly stuck to the discs and took plenty of hitting with a screw driver and wiggling the rim, trying to knock the two apart.

Once off, both faces were clean with no obvious cause for this.

Anybody else have this, and is there anything I could used to prevent this from happening. Not overly keen on never seize or the brake anti squeel paste here, but could this be an option if used sparingly?

Also, if this does happen to anyone else, and you wiggle the rim and disc about, remember to pump the pedal a few times to put the brake pistions back to where they should be before you reach your first point when you wish to brake, rather than doing then in a hurry.
