Stiff clutch - trouble finding neutral

Lovely sunny day so I took the morning off work and took my bike out for its first proper spin since getting it back from servicing shortly after I bought it in Jan.

When it was serviced the comment came back that the clutch is badly worn so they had repacked it and reshimmed the inner drum.

The only difference I can feel is that it is now much stiffer to operate and very difficult to find neutral - before the servicing it was a breeze.

Anyone know if it has been set-up badly, or is this just a symptom of it being badly worn? What's the cure?

Excuse my ignorance but I'm not mechanically minded at the best of times and I've never had clutch problems on a bike before!

Cheers
