Sounds like it is the brake saftey switch interlock. This is what assures you have the brake on when shifting out of park. This is located in the steering collumn near the base, and it might be going bad. On my GMC van when this went, I had to turn the key just far enough forward to release the column lock, and then put it in neutral. I could then put it in neutral to start it. I eventually replaced the switch.
If you are having other shifting problems too though, you may have something going on in your linkage, or the trans itself... good luck!
