If it recently started sticking, it is likely due to increased humidity, which caused the wood to swell. Try beeswax, parrafin (candles work for both) or bar soap. It may resolve itself as the desk acclimates to the season. If it is very difficult to operate, I'd have it repaired. Roll Tops are fairly fragile and can break from forcing them.

RPA offers a valid notion. My two cents might be parrafin. What you don't strictly want is a liquid; that might also leach into the wood of the desk. Admittedly WD40 is a miracle but not for furniture.
I guess another thought I have to present is WHY? is it sticking. Certainly I'd want to investigate that as well.

You could also rub bar soap in the slots.

I agree, bees wax or even rosyn.

100% pure silicone spray (Hardware store), it won't stain the wood.
