Turn the ignition on, put your foot on the brake and just shift the auto transmission into the N position. If your battery is totally dead you will have to jump the battery from another vehicle in order to accomplish this.

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.

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.
