Default Occasional problem with getting the car in gear (manual transmission)

Does anyone occasionally have a problem getting the car in gear when your foot is on the clutch? For example: those times when your running late to go somewhere (lol) and you start the car up and put it in reverse and the stick is sliding in that position, but it just wont click and you let the clutch out to see if you got it and you get that terrible grinding noise. This happens in reverse and second gear for me occasionally and I didn't know if this is a common thing. The way I fix it is putting it in neutral (while parked with foot on clutch) then shifting to first and second, then it will work afterwards but I feel this shouldn't be happening regardless. Thanks
