Your car has what is called a shifter interlock. It makes it so the vehicle can not accidentally be shifted out of park unless the brake pedal is depressed. There is a solenoid in the shifter that probably needs replaced.
Is there any shift lock button near gear lever if yes than push it and give it a a try if no than I think you have you flush the gear oil and replace the gear filter too.
Turn the key just off the locked position and you should be able to move the shifter it neutral, then start the engine in neutral. You may have a brake light problem (no brake lights at all).
They locking nut has come loose on the shift control arm on the side of the transmission, you need to put it in park and adjust it so the arm is all the way forward and the shift lever is all the way into the Park position, this should get rid of the car moving when the shifter lever is not in reverse.
Have some one move the shift lever and you watch the linkage under the car to see if the lever is moving on the transmission. Sounds like the linkage is lose. Tighten the bolt on the linkage and you will off and running again.
There are a few things to inspect before dissassembling unit,the park lever is attached to internal shifting arm and runs towards rear of trans,the other possibility of lock up would more than likely be rear planetary failure < if this is case would recomend to replace unit< new or used> due to costs and time involvement even for very handy people. You should check rearend as well by dropping driveshaft and making sure it operates freely <could be actual problem>.
