Try
( m = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6}} ) // MatrixForm
Transpose[m] // MatrixForm
(then m is defined as a list and then printed in matrix form)
MatrixForm[] is supposed for printing of matrices,
the functions for matrix manipulation cannot handle its output.
When you want to calculate with matrices you should define
your matrices as lists and use MatrixForm only for displaying
the results.
