Default No 3rd gear but all others work!?!?!

I was in a parking lot today and couldn't get my car out of 4th gear no matter how hard I tried. I wasn't driving hard or far at all and it took all my might to get it out and into neutral. I managed to get the car going again on the road and all the gears started to unstick except for 3rd. It has been three hours and it still will not go into third with the car turned off. Every other gear works fine now except 3rd which won't even let me get close to in, it seems to be completely blocked off. Any ideas?

I'm pretty short on cash right now and even shorter on time.... How long do you think I can drive with this problem without doing anymore serious damage. Maybe two hundred miles tops.
