Putting the car into any gear without the engine running is OK. You'll probably find that sometimes it doesn't work. The gears aren't spinning, so they're either lined up (by luck) or not.
Taking the key out, & not needing the lockout collar for reverse, are both problems with the mechanism in the shifter box (in the console). Probably not internal tranny problems. Take it apart & look for broken stuff.
Occasional locked clutch (if I understand your description) could be simply you need to bleed air out of the clutch hydraulic system.
