Default My car is in Park but moves ! Wont turn on. :(

My car is in Park but moves ! HELP Shiftier not engaging?
I took out my keys before placing my car in park. now the engine will not turn on.?
I pushed the car to see if it was in park and it is not.
All the electrical things come on (dash board)
It has a small noise when I try to turn it on.
( I can still move it to reverse- neutral ) I have no clue what to do .
Update 1: yes I did try shifting it to park position with hand brake on then starting it :'(

Are you applying the brake? If not, do so.

It should start in neutral, with the brake applied.

What year is this car?
