Gated Gallardo Clutch issue - help!

Hi all - I'm new to this forum and needed some help. I appreciate all your help in advance.  Have a very weird situation with my 2005 G.  Had lost my key for the vehicle after driving it 4 weeks ago.  Parked it, sat outside in the elements for 4 weeks.  Found the key yesterday - went to drive it, and the clutch is not engaging.  When the car is off, you can push the car thru all the gears, but as soon as you start the car - push the clutch (feels normal), but trying to put the car in gear and it won't go - its like forcing it but won't move.  If you shut the car down, and put it in gear, then try to start it with foot on the clutch - if jumps like you don't even have your foot on the clutch.  Clutch was replaced by a forum member about 4000 miles ago.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks

I had that happen once on another american car I owned long time ago. Turns out the clutch disc was stuck to the flywheel due to slight rust from being outside. I know if I wash my car and don't drive it right away, even for a few feet, the pads will stick to the rotors.

Not saying that is your problem, but it was mine.

Had the same issue.......old guy garage is correct.  I was able to break the flywheel free by jump starting the car with a push.....dropped it into gear and broke it free....attempt at your own risk.  Worked on my Jalpa..

Any update? Hopefully it's a cheap and quick fix. 

He said it did end up being the pressure plate stuck to clutch.  Bring outside in the elements and the heat lately I guess did it.  So it was a quick fix at the shop.  

This is my old G by the way.
