Is it making any noise when you have the clutch pedal pushed in?  Any  
squealing? Any vibration?  Do you smell the clutch burning?

Usually the pilot bushing will not keep the car moving when the  
clutch is depressed.  I'd lean more towards insufficient movement of  
the throw-out bearing.  That can be caused by air in the system, a  
bad master or slave cylinder, a bent clutch fork, a short or worn  
push rod at the master or the slave,  or  worn parts in the  
connections of the push rods. (to name a few).
