1999 Kia Sephia 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

My car won't start with key. I had starter, battery, alternator tested. all good. Replaced the crimped connector to selnoid. Have manually pressed the clutch activation button. Only way to start is to have the key on, car in neutral and use a screwdriver to jump the starter. How can the car start without the clutch activation button depressed and why can't I start it with the clutch and ignition key.
