According to www.ehow.com this problem can be caused by your clutch reservoir being empty of brake fluid.

Whatever the case, the primary cause is the fact that the hydraulic pressure is not building enough to disengage the clutch fully. I always start with the simple solutions first-- check the fluid levels and check thoroughly for any leaks--then bleed the clutch hydraulic system-- if that doesn't improve performance then I'd replace the master AND the slave cylinder and rebleed the system. That should get you shifting smoothly again.
