Yes, all good advice. I've had it happen too because I was slipping the clutch while backing a trailer up hill on a narrow driveway. I drove it for a couple of miles with the clutch pedal down before it broke loose.
If it is a column shift you might have two gears selected. Hit the starter with the ignition off and the clutch pedal down. If the motor turns over and the car remains stationary It is the transmission. If the car moves it's the clutch.
To disengage the transmission. Chock one rear wheel front and back, jack the other side rear wheel off the ground (parking brake off) If it is column shift, put the shift lever somewhere near the neutral position. Open the hood and check the selectors near the firewall, they should be at the same height. You can move them by hand until they are. If this is your problem you need to take the side cover off the transmission and get it repaired.
