Not all of the web is sticky. The spider travels on the threads of the web which aren't sticky thus avoiding getting caught in its own web.

Also not all parts of the web are sticky, the spider knows which parts to step on.

each spider knows which parts of it's own web is sticky and which parts are not. Its like saying you built a booby-trapped house, and you know where exactly to go in case of emergency and where not to step.

They lubricate their feet with a kind of oil that stops them from getting stuck on their own web!
