Sounds definetly like the Trans shifter linkage needs adjusted-normally not needed unless accident damage or simple wear/loosening of linkage(usually rite at trans is the adjustment)
Jack up the truck and see if brakes are locked.. or just try pushing it if it rolls its probably a trans problem not a brake problem. could be the park prawl is broken in the Trans.
The parking brake can be bad or stuck. There is not much to them to begin with. For the transmission, there are several potential problems.
You may just need an adjustment, as the Park is on one extreme end of the shift from the rest. It may not quite be locking.
Inside the trans there is a lever called a pawl. Can't say why it is called that but it is suppose to wedge between gears notches inside the trans. This is suppose to lock the shaft. If the pawl lever is broke, it has no end to jam in its position. The broken part would be loose inside the trans.
I see that you were on a driveway. It could do it anywhere. Remember Driver training to hook front wheels toward downgrade hills and for the back of the front wheels to hook the curb on upgrades when parallel parking.
Even so, the Parking brakes are not that good to depend on when the trans does not lock in place. Take it somewhere to check trans linkage.
On the 1995 Jimmy, the shift cable can come loose on the mount on the side of the transmission where the cable meets the trans. When it slips, the alignment goes off and causes the driver to not be able to put the trans into park. If you take a long stick you can push the shift arm on the trans to the park position and your trans will go into park.....what you (and I) really need to know is how to take the shift cable mount apart and reset it.
