Sounds like to me that the shifter linkage didnt positively engage the transmission into park older cars sometimes have sloppy linkage mechenisms and that's most likely what happened.
AnswerUse the parking break in addition to putting your vehicle in park. It is bad on your transmission to park on a hill without your parking break on. What you need to do is place your foot on the break put the car in neutral apply the parking break and then shift into park.Wiki User

If a car is in park in a driveway with the engine running and lights on is it still considered parked?
Yes, as long as the engine is not in gear and a brake is enabled.A "Parked" car is defined as: a setting in an automatic transmission in which the transmission is in neutral and the brake is engaged. (http:/dictionary.reference.com/browse/park)Therefore it would suffice to say that a car is parked once the wheels are locked via some sort of brake and the engine is not in gear (park or neutral). The lights being on is irrelevant.Concerning California law: It is illegal to leave your vehicle unattended on the highway without first turning off the engine and enabling a brake.(http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d11/vc22515.htm)

If you are parked on a steep hill or the front wheels are parked hard up against a curb it may cause that to happen. It may take some force to get it out of park. If that fails to work, check for a blown fuse.
