Unusual for a wet clutch to jam, dry clutches rust, has it ever worked for You ?

Get someone to tow you with the ignition off in gear, foot on the clutch, if this fails then bump it in gear and try to use the engine to free things. You may find that if you warm the engine fully the heat will assist in freeing the cltch so let it idle for 15 minutes before you start dragging it around at all.

Just run it in neutral and rev it a bit to get some oil round, then try starting it in gear with the clutch pressed.
