Transmission or linkage. If it's an auto, look under and see if it is actually in gear with a helper to hold the brake. If selector not moving trans selector, linkage needs adjustment. if in gear-check fluid. If manual, check clutch surface material.

Why would the Park and Neutral lights light up on the dashboard and your car not start?
YOU CANT START A NORMAL AUTONATIC TRANSMISSION IN GEAR, HOWEVER YOUR DASH INDICATES THAT YOUR NOT IN GEAR. ONE CAUSE COULD BE DAMAGE TO THE LINKAGE BETWEEN YOUR TRANS AND GEAR SELECTOR. THIS WOULD INDICATE A DIFFERENT GEAR THEN THE GEAR SELECTED. YOU MAY ALSO CHECK THE PARK PINS IN YOUR TRANS.

What does the indicator light second gear start means . and why does the car start off slow?
Second gear start was a feature on a few GM car models in the mid 90's. When engaged, the car will start off in second gear instead of first. This is why the car is slower while turned on. There is much less torque output starting out in second gear, providing improved traction while driving in icy and snowy conditions. There is a button or switch somewhere that turns it on and off.
Is there any other way of turning on a standard car?
You can push start a car with a standard transmission. Place the car in neutral. Push the car to a brisk speed. Mash down the clutch pedal and place the gear selector in 2nd gear. Pop the clutch, and it should start.
