Have the sticky keyboard replaced. There is no effective way to clean it. If you're very lucky, none of the soda got past the keyboard to damage more expensive parts of the machine. If you're not lucky, you've learned a valuable lesson the hard way: keep liquids far away from your computer at all times.
You can always try pulling the keys off and cleaning underneath them.

However, if any of the soda leaked inside, you may be looking at slow corrosion or a short causing hardware damage. How much soda was spilled, and did you let it dry thoroughly before trying to use the computer again?
If you had a puddle on the keyboard encompassing multiple keys, you could very well have some very large bills in your future. Soda is one of the worst things you could spill on your computer. The sugars will remain long after the liquid has dried, and can cause corrosion over time and other damage. If any got on the logic board or other electronic components, you're fortunate that the machine is still working, but it may not remain that way.
Of course, not much may have made it past the keyboard, in which case you're very lucky.
No, I'm saying your entire MacBook Pro could stop working at some point in the future, requiring expensive repairs that could include replacement of the logic board. It also may not, but you'd better prepare yourself for the worst case scenario.
you can totally fix this man. I did the exact same thing. All you have to do is remove the keys one by one and clean them, the plastic mechanism within the key and the area where the actual sits. I would recomend using windex and cue tips. follow the instructions in this video and pay attention to the detail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSpPlMdGvVI
