That might be the sign of a transmission problem. My car used to jerk when I put it in reverse. But if you wait a couple seconds until it is completely in gear, I bet it won't jerk. Having it checked out with a mechanic maybe in your next oil change might be a good idea.
Tip for checking your transmission:
When you are driving 60mph, put your car in neutral - if your car rolls smoothly in neutral, there is no problem. If it shakes or does something weird, you wanna have it checked out. Reminder: Putting the car from FORWARD gear (not reverse) to Neutral while in motion in either automatic or manual gearbox will not damage the transmission.

Because something is wrong with it.
Your car might kick when you shift from park to drive if your transmission fluid is low or very dirty. You might also have worn gears in the transmission.
when you take the car out of drive and put in park the drive mechanism or transmission does not put as much load on the engine so it runs faster.
