Default Starter Locking Up

Hi, every once in a while, when I go to start our '39, the starter locks up and all I get is the clicking of the starter relay. My solution is to put the transmission in 3rd and rock the car until I hear it "pop". What is the cause and can it be repaired? Can I just continue to operate it this way, or will it get progressively worse?

Thanks and stay safe...
