What causes your Volvo 240 to get stuck in park when you first turn on the car?
I haven't solved the problem by replacing a relay switch and a shifter part. However, there is a yellow lever that can be pushed located under the brushes on the shifter on the center right side of the shifter. If you press on the break, turn the key in the ignition and press the yellow lever, this will release the shifter out of park and then it wil move into neutral. The car will start in neutral. This is how I've been dealing with it. Alternative is to always park on level ground leave it in neutral when parked and start it in neutral.

Can't engage shifter from park?
I have the similar situation on my shifter on my 1991 pontiac sunbird 2.0 Liter. The shifter was kinda loose last two year, but it shifted fine. However, 2 days ago. When I put in "Park" gear, it was still moving forward, I put in "Rear" gear, it felt like in "Park", when I put in "Drive" gear, it felt like in "neutral". And the shifter is sometimes very loose, but back to normal when I put the shifter back and forth. I took it to a transmission store, they found out the "shift linkage cable" from the shift to the transmission was broken. I changed it today and so far no problem.
