You also need to set your parking brake before putting the selector in Park, if on any incline. Putting the selector into Park, places a pin into the drivetrain that holds it from moving. When on any incline, the forces against that pin is, with the weight of the car pulling it one way or the other, makes it almost impossible to move. When it does finally move, there will be a noticeable "clunk" sound ... Always set the parking brake and turn the wheels toward the curb when facing downhill and away from the curb when facing uphill.

Why wont your jag s type start The car is left in park however when i go to start the car the following day the cars reverse left automatically come on the car thinks it is in reverse and wont start?
There is a little plunger switch that tells the car it is in park or neutral so the starter circuit can activate. Cycle through the shifter P-R-N-D... a few times, then go back to park and try again. If that doesnt work, try starting in in Neutral, but keep your foot on the brake pedal so you dont roll.

A car might stall when shifting from park to reverse if the idle is set too low. It is also possible that the engine stalls because it is not fully warmed up before shifting from park to reverse.
Why wont my 1997 Ford Taurus wont go in reverse or start in drive?
For the Reverse problem, you could have low transmission fluid, or a bad transmission. For starting in drive, just about every modern car will not start when the transmission is in gear. They will only start in Park or Neutral. This is a safety feature to prevent the car from taking off into someone or something when started.
