starter not engaging properly with flywheel. it is either the starter [gear in nose not driving out far enough] or a bad section on the teeth of the flywheel.
yank the starter and check it out...

yep, if you are in a hurry and need to get somewhere put your car in nuetral and get it rolling and hop in and pop the clutch. park it in a place where you can do it again when you leave
