Adjust the neutral safety switch (if I remember correctly it's behind the shift arm on the transmission on yours.) Switch also sets point where trigger for starter operates so make sure both are working when you have moved the switch. If you can't get both to work properly, switch is worn and needs replacement.

If the car starts in first, it sounds like you have a problem with the lock cable. There should be a cable from steering column to shifter that prevents the shifter from moving out of park.
Remove the center console and examine the cables. Disconnect the one from the steering column and see if that frees up the shifter. If it does, you will need to find out what is jamming the steering column. Check the cable for frays 1st. Then make sure you didn't drop something down the center console, last look at the cable connection behind the ignition key.... when you are poking around the steering column, disconnect the battery and let is sit for a few minutes or you risk the air-bags blowing up in your face.
A long time ago, I melted a gear shift cable when I didn't have a good ground on the engine block. When the car started, the power when through the shifter cable and it must have gone red hot and melted.
chances are the linkage has come apart on the side of the transmission
Testimonial: "It has something to do with the gearshift lever not being connected to the cable any longer...The cable looks fine at the transmission and is easily shifted from there manually..."
The synchronizers are bad. Costs about $200. But I check and replace bearings. Also check gears. About a $1500 job. You pull the transmission. I pull, $2500. I replace the master and slave also.
