Have you tried tapping the starter gently with a hammer while someone turns the ignition? May be able to avoid the tow.

Ah 2nd this. It will usually get you a good few turnovers before it sticks entirely.

Don't even have to do it gently, I used to wail on my old vw starters with a rubber mallet because I swear they'd blow out every year.

Better if you have someone turn it over while doing but not always a necessity.

Check the ground/battery connections too as a just in case.
