When you are in a hurry, you feel an urgent need to get something done quickly.
To hurry is to move or do something else quickly because you are in a hurry.
(Be careful: You can be in a hurry even when you're not moving. For example, if you are standing in line to buy a ticket for a train that is about to leave, you can say, "I'm in a hurry." However, you can NOT say, "I'm hurrying," because you aren't DOING anything quickly; you're just waiting.)
in a hurryは、気持ちがせいているという意味です。
hurryは、気持ちがせいているので動作もはやくなっている、つまり、急ぐという意味の動詞です。
注意: 動作を伴わないで、気持ちだけがせいている場合があります。例えば、もう出発しそうになっている電車の切符を買おうとして、列に並んでいるときなどです。この場合、I'm in a hurry.と言うことはできますが、I'm hurrying.とは言えません。何かを急いでおこなっているわけではなく、ただ待っているだけだからです。
