1997 Acura Integra won't shift into gear. What is/are the cause(s)?

Question

The only way I can drive my 97 Acura Integra is to put the shifter in 1st gear, depress the clutch pedal, and start the ignition but then the car lunges forward. There is no problem up shifting afterward once the car is running. When I start the car in neutral then attempts to shift into any gear while clutch is fully depressed, it would not do so. What do you think the causes are?
