Probably because your oil level is really, really low and when you put the brakes on whatever drop you have left sloshes to the front of the engine so there is not enough left to register at the pump sender, and when you are in park you are only idling, so it is not creating enough pressure at the pump and the light comes on. You should get your oil level checked while you still have an engine left to put some in. Like tomorrow. Phil
