Is the car in gear when you try to start it?

no..i usually start it at neutral..

The mechanics of the clutch then would not effect the starting of the car. If it doesn't even try to start and you are quite sure that it has something to do with you pressing the clutch pedal then I'd look into the wiring/sensor at your clutch pedal as there is a switch there that sees that the clutch is pressed in before it will allow the engine to start. Something to consider.
