sounds like your clutch was not fully disengaging.

Yep, clutch disc stuck to either the pressure plate or the flywheel due to a bit of corrosion. Somewhat common on stick cars that sit for longer periods especially if there's humidity out or the clutch disc is metallic or semi-metallic.

Happens to the M20s in my '59 and '66 Vettes if they sit too long when its humid. As long as there is nothing in front of me, I leave it in gear (with e-brake on) and just touch the starter for a spit second without depressing the clutch. That little jump breaks it free and its usually all good after that.

I had something similar happen yesterday after the car sat for 2 weeks. While it was running I could not get it into any forward gears until I put it in reverse, then all was back to normal.
