This is a tranmission linkage problem. The car may be in park but the linkage arm well sometimes slip of or sometimes just run crooked as you switch through the gears. My car has also done the same thing until I recapped the arm with a new lock washer

Did you notice if your speedometer quit working at the same time? If so, there is a glimmer of hope, it may be a vehicle speed sensor problem. Otherwise, it sounds like the trans just took a dump. Try shifting the trans into ALL gears (including 2 and 1) to see if that makes a difference.
