I would park on a steep downhill street somewhere and kill the engine.. With your foot on the brake, put it in 1st (it will shift into gear with the engine off and just sitting there, yes? if not, let off the brake just a little so it slips in gear) Now in gear, let off the brake.. engine compression should prevent it from rolling. Now push the clutch pedal down. Does it disengage enough to let it roll? If not, i'd say one of the clutch cylinders is the problem. Look for leaks, make sure it has enough fluid, maybe it can be bled, maybe the mount broke, I dunno, that's what i'd try.
