Sometimes it feels as if its all the way in reverse, and when I let off the cluch it sorta grinds a little bit until I snap it all the way in. It can usually be avoided if I slooowly let of the clutch while still firmly pushing the shift lever into reverse.

. I think it has something to do with the way the gears sit. When not in motion they may put a load somewhere.

It could also be your pressure plate.

EDIT: You guys do know how a manual transmission works, mechanically, right?
When it's in neutral and the clutch is out the transmission is spinning with the motor. Reverse is an unsynchronized gear so when you disengage the clutch and go jamming it in reverse... Well that's just not too good. All putting it in first first does is the synchro rings for first spin down the transmission to how fast first is spinning, which is zero rpm if you're at a stop.
So when you want reverse, just wait a second or two after you disengage the clutch before you select reverse.
If you can't get it into reverse at first, putting it in first will move around the transmission's shafts and line up reverse. Same thing can be achieved by letting the clutch out in neutral briefly to spin it up.
