There are a few ideas here. The car shouldn't start in neutral, it should only start in Park and with foot on the brake. The are a number of sensors, switches and modules that make this happen. Take it to the dealership.
Try stepping on the brake when trying to shift with the key on. Then try starting im neutral or other gears to see if the neutral safety switch is bad in park. You may have a bad wire from the battery to power distrubution or bad ground. So many things it could be.
Does the car start in Neutral? If it does then Park sensor switch is cactus.
Not sure of the fix but my S320 does this, sometimes starting OK in Park, sometimes not.
There is a problem in what is called a transmission range sensor. This sensor lets the ignition system know the vehicle is safe to start by being in Park or Neutral. Try replacing the sensor if that doesnt fix it check the wiring of the circuit.
