Common problem.  (This presumes that the clutch hydraulics are
working properly and the problem is really stuck clutch.)  Start the
engine in neutral, let it warm up. Shut down. Push the car into a
place where you can let it move.  Push start it in second or third 
gear.  Drive around the block a couple of times.  Push the pedal in
and rev and release the engine a couple of times.  Clutch will pop 
loose.  It's important to have the engine/flywheel warm.
