What happens when you try putting it in gear - does it go in with the engine stopped but not if the engine is running?

Does is make a grinding noise if you put it in reverse ?

If these are true then the plate is either not disengaging with the flywheel or the gearbox input shaft is stuck in the crank spigot.

If it goes in gear with the engine stopped, jack up the driving wheels, put it in gear and start the engine, depress clutch and apply the footbrake gently - this will either stall the engine if the clutch is engaged or break it free if it or the spigot are stuck.

PS you did wash off any preservative from the new clutch pressure plate, didn't you?
