Canon fixed the zoom creep on my EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM when they replaced the IS unit. There wasn't an extra charge for it. You could phone Canon and ask for a price quote. I believe that Canon has gone to a flat labour rate now.

I'll use a rubber band.

I fixed the problem by purchasing only primes. I guess that makes me a 'prime creep.' You just can't get away from it!
