Why would a car that has been sitting outside for over a year not move when put in gear with the engine running or pushed in neutral with the brake off?

just because the brake is off dose not mean it is not sticking, thsi is usually do to rust. if the parking brake was left on then it could be sticking to. you might want to try and spray a rust penetrant on the moving parts and try and make the parts move. try and work the parking brake and the brakes several times to get them to free up. you can try and tap on the drum brakes (rear) with a hammer. if it is not a brake problem then it is a drivetrain problem. you can try and force it to move and it may end up brakeing free (get a truck and a chain and try to pull the vehicle a few feet forward and a few feet back---just be careful)
