If you have the clutch fully depressed and the car moves you definitely need a clutch adjustment. I'd go to www.autozone.com and register for free. Once registered you'll have access to DIY repair manuals and shop manuals. Look through these and you may find you can make the adjustment yourself.
Slacken of the clutch cable and tighten so that there is 1/2 inch of alomost free play at the far end of the handlebar grip lever. If it is still slipping, replace the clutch plates. Hope that helps.
Your clutch plate is probably worn. You could try to ajust the clutch pressure plate to compensate for this (consult repair manual or get a mechanic to do it for you: should be relatively cheap and fast!) but it could be worned beyond ajustment range and would need replacing.
