You need to have it rebuilt is all. Normally what you describe is a synchromesh problem. It isn't going to get better and I'd suggest that having it jump out of gear at an inopportune time could be dangerous.

Another thought is that it is not impossible for your shift linkage to be out of adjustment and not fully engaging 2nd gear. That's simple and inexpensive to check and I'd suggest looking into that before pulling the trans.

On the trans, it shouldn't cost more than $400+parts for a good rebuild, not including removal and reinstallation which you can do yourself.

MrFixit needs to jump in on this one.
