Is this a manual? How many miles? Have you ever replaced the clutch?

It sounds to me like your clutch is not fully releasing, which is commonly a hydraulic system problem, such as low fluid or a leaking system or an air bubble. Other people know your car better than I do.

@oldnotdeadyet is likely correct. Most probable either the master or slave cylinder has an internal leak. A good mechanic with hands on the car can diagnose and fix it.
