Let your car warm up before you drive it.

Prelude 5spd trannies are notorious for that, it's a common thing. If it happens again, just put it back to neutral, then back into first.

Happened to me in my 5th gen all the time.

do the 1 to second thing and also ...on my car anyway I let the clutch out a tiny bit, not enough to grind but it seems to let it in gear for me.
I have the problem usually in reverse though and it always helps me out.
