It's probably the cable that goes from the pedal to the parking brake in the back. It's like the brake on a bicycle, it's a metal wire inside of a plastic and metal tube. Sometimes that cable gets split, either from cracking due to age, or getting otherwise damaged. Water and dirt get inside the cable and eventually work through the entire cable.

What could cause the gear shifter to stick at times on my 97 Chevrolet Suburban when trying to put in drive from park?

Sounds like the unit is being parked on an incline. If this is the case, when you come to a stop before shifting into ark engauge the parking brake. This will keep the parking pawl in the transmission from getting into a bind. Before releasing the parking brake when you wish to drive again shift into drive before releasing the brake. if this does not solve your problem you may have internal transmissin damage.
