Your safety switch is probably out of adjustment. The safety switch makes certain the car will only start in park or nuetral to keep it from starting and ramming into something. On a manual transmission it would be no big deal because the clutch would be in but on an automatic trans whooops....
You don't have to be able to start a car to put it into neutral. Put the key in, turn it to on, then the shifter will be unlocked and you can move it to neutral.
If the car only starting in neutral, you likely have a faulty neutral safety switch.Or do you have your foot on the brake when trying to start in park? You must or it will not start.

Would a soleniod circuit for the transmission make a car not start?
It might depend on the vehicle and transmission in question, but usually a transmission fault, of any kind, will have little or no impact on the engine's ability to start. With a transmission solenoid problem, you may not be able to make the car move, but it should still start.About the only, transmission related problem that would prevent the engine from starting would be a faulty neutral safety switch, or maybe a faulty brake or clutch switch, which can definitely prevent you from starting the engine, even when working properly, that's their function. If the neutral safety switch is faulty, you may be able to start the engine with the transmission shifter in a position other than Park or Neutral, or not at all. Normal function allows engine starts in only Park or Neutral, and for automatics, sometimes only with the brake pedal depressed as well. On manual transmissions the neutral safety switch allows engine start only with the clutch pedal depressed.**Note: some older vehicle models may not be equipped with neutral safety switches, brake switches, or clutch switches.
