I have to disagree with Ken a little on this. The syncronizer forces the gear to spin faster to allow a smooth downshift. When this fails, you will get a noticable crunch and need to match engine rpm to driveshaft rpm. You do not have this problem.
Either your linkage from the shifter to the tranny is bent, the bearing under the shifter is loose and worn so that it won't hold under pressure, or the tranny mount on the driver's side is worn/broken. (not engine mount)

There is a lot of torque in 2nd gear and if anything is loose you will fall into neutral. While parked and engine off, put it into 2nd. Then with no clutch, try to see if it will fall out of gear easily compared to 3rd gear. If not, then check the tranny mount - I have seen a few of the metal brackets snap off.

Replace the front rotors and pads soon, please. And keep driving it like you hate it!!! That is good for the engine :) and your soul :)
