Default Stuck in 2nd gear

Earlier today I parked my car and left it in 2nd gear. A few hours later when I tried to start the car I couldnt get it out of gear. Ive tried wiggling the gearstick but it wont come out no matter what i tried.

Anyone any ideas what could of gone wrong? Car is 99 sti if it helps

Cheers

Does the gearstick move at all? Could be something jamming in the linkage??
