Could just be a bad microswitch in the gear selector..... basically it tells the car that the car is in park so that it will start. Since the switch isn't working the car doesn't think the selector is in a position to allow the car to start. It works when it's in neutral because obviously that switch still works.

It could also be a Neutral Safety Switch inside of the trans that has gone bad
