My car does the same thing,from what I have read here while searching around I suspect the seals are going out in the tranny.If you warm your car up for a few minutes and put the car in gear,let it sit in each setting for at least 15 seconds.This will bulid the pressure on the seals.This works on mine for now.I am overdue for a rebuild and suspect you are too.

If the speedo is the only gage to not function you could possibly have a bad VSS( Vehicle Speed Sensor )..... The PCM has to know if the car is in motion, if it doesn't know you may be starting out in second gear...
Next time this happens manually shift the car into first gear and see if its any better
