Just guesses, but this description makes me think of 2 things:

1. Pushing all the way down is making something in the pressure plate touch the disk (not too likely), or, more likely,
2. Pushing all the way down is getting the master or slave piston seal into a worn area in its bore, causing fluid to bypass the seal, resulting in partial re-engagement.

#2, plus the low engagement, may indicate worn cylinders, and that you may have to replace the master and/or slave.
