Starter drive gear may be hung in the flywheel. Put transmission in 3rd gear and give the car a big push backward. Try again to start it.
 
Actually the push should be forward to unstick the drive, just like an engine after starting will be running faster than the starter, and will spin the drive back out of engagement. Seems most people just rock the car back and forth, and that should work also. As MAG mentioned, 3rd gear is best for the most leverage.
