You can try putting it in neutral and turn the engine on and if it starts and you can drive the vehicle that's okay. You will just have to do this trick every time you start the car then and you want to get out of park. Reason could be a faulty gear position sensor, or shift interlock sensor, or brake pedal position switch. Can't say for sure. Will have to get it looked at by a mechanic.
