If the car will start in neutral but not in park then you may have a bad transmission safety switch. That switch confirms that the car is in neutral or park before it allows the 'start' signal from the key switch to reach the solenoid.

It could be a dead battery, or corroded or otherwise faulty battery connections. Cables not tight enough for example. The starter motor could have failed. The starter solenoid may have failed.

What is a starter Ignition Neutral switch?

Neutral switch? If you mean the neutral-safety switch, it's a switch that opens (prevents current from flowing) when your car is not in park or neutral. Without this switch, you would be able to turn the key and actuate the starter when your transmission is in reverse, drive and low range.
