could be a few things

misaligned or excess slack in the gear linkage (its 2 cables + brackets that can wear)
worn syncromesh
worn clutch components (slave /master cylinder / worn clutch itself) (which can exhibit as difficult gearchange)

is it a new thing or happened gradually? any recent changes?

Doesn't sound right - the MK5 manual gearbox is usually a lovely box - is this a new thing or has your car always been like this?
