A great sword is heavy. The IRL way to wield it without overly exerting yourself is to hold the handle about head height and to have the tip of the blade around waist height. In this position, removing one hand would make you either drop it or force you to plant the tip in the ground.
That being said this is D&D and realism doesn't always work well with the rules.... I'd personally go with a swift action to represent re-steadying the blade and leave the hand being removed/returned as free actions.
