As Redgreen said, put it in high gear and rock it, if that doesn't help loosen the starter mounting bolts and try again. Starters lock because the bevel on the ends of the teeth of the ring gear or the starter drive becme worn and they lock end to end instead of engaging. If it starts happening regularly the starter drive is easy to replace if it's the problem. If it's the ring gear on the flywheel, then it needs replaced, or it can be repaired by using a Dremel tool through the starter opening to reshape the bevels on the teeth. If you go the Dremel rout there will be 2 places 180 degrees from each other where the teeth are worn due to the engines always stopping between compression strokes.
