sticky cluthch pedal on take off

this just happend to me yesterday coming home from school, when i take off the clutch seems to stick and engage early untill i pull it up wit my toe. it works fine in all gears 1-5 but revers is the same. i can still get it in and out of gear but the throw gets shorter and short each time i take off i dont think the master or slave is bad they dont seem to be leaking, i seached but my symptoms dont seem to match a bad master and slave cylinder going bad. would it be the pressure plate and clutch going? my car has only 30k and ive drove it 2000 miles without problem
and it was garaged stored for quit a while. i asked alot of my friends at my automotive class and didnt get any solid response this is just bothering the heck out of me. itmakes me look like i cant drive stick while i try to fiddle with it

I just had this same issue recently, where the pedal would not come up after being depressed. After bleeding the system, I ended up replacing the Master Cylinder. If you are not leaking any fluid, that is where I'd suggest you start. Check with www.rockauto.com for a good price on a replacement.
