Does the clutch engage? Does the shifter feel stiff or hard to get between gears? Has this always been happening? If not, when did it start?

Yeah, it sounds like the brakes might be dragging. If you normally keep the e-brake engaged when the car is parked (especially if it sits in that position for long periods of time), the brakes will usually stick until you drive it some. Try tapping the brakes several times while rolling backward and stop leaving the car parked with the e-brake on (put the tranny in 2nd gear while parked). Let us know if that helps with the problem.
