My (manual trans) stick shift gets stuck and wont get into gear, is this simple or urgent?

Question:
I've been driving fine but recently my stick shift has had a hard time going into the slot it should---kind of like when you try to shift down into first and it doesn't work without declutching.. but now it is happening with all the gears, and I have to ram it in there just to go, and I have to press the clutch down the last millimeter into the floor, and sometimes that still won't work.
Sometimes I let out the clutch really fast and let it pop back up (is that what "popping the clutch" is?) and that helps, but I was wondering if there was anything else I could do before taking it to the mechanic next week?

The obvious answer is that the clutch is dragging but it's also possible that the transmission is low in gear oil.
