Clutch won't release! Help

My car has been driving good, just got it fixed lately but just now, I went to start up my car and I was thinking about something and completely forgot to take the car out of gear when I started it. So the car jumps forward obviously and I think to myself, Im glad I didnt hit the garage door. I press on the clutch, start up the car and try to get it into reverse and it wont go in at all, in fact it wont go into any gears at all. The only way I can put the car into gear is if I turn off the car, then it will go into gear regardless if push or release the clutch.

What it looks like to me is that the clutch is always engaged and the pedal doesnt release it anymore. Anyone know what part is giving me the problem? Something I can fix or am I ****ed for a big job now?

Thanks for your help. Really sucks cause I was enjoying driving my car since I got it fixed.

Update: I was able to get it working again. I'm not exactly sure how but this is what I remember. The car was in the driveway so I put it in reverse while the car was off, pressed the clutch and started the car, move it back a bit and let out the clutch a bit but didn't go down the driveway much. Then I tried to shift out and now it was stuck in reverse even when the car was off! So now the car is off and tried pushing it a few times to nudge it out, didn't work. I started pressing and releasing the clutch for a while them stopped then about a minute later, the car starts rolling back. I hit the brake and try the shifter and it is fine, start up the car and its shifting again! Not sure exactly what I did but putting it into reverse on that incline seemed to do the trick somehow. Cars shifting great now.

Put more brake fluid where needed in your car, there should be 3 spots under the hood and then pump the clutch with your hands a bunch untill it starts returning properly. Mine does it too sometimes.
