Help, won't start

[DrFrizog]

ok, i started my 1985 300sd, it started fine like always, it's 20 degrees outside. I put it in reverse to back out, and i was turning the wheel which was stuck in the snow all the way to the right. as i hit the gas the car died, and then i put it back into park, and the starter won't engage, IS IT STUCk IN REVERSE, did something else break. AHHHHHHHHH. IS it the neutral safty swich, the automatic gear lever does NOT feel floppy like it's not connected to anything. I want to go get my pizza!!!! I'll try starting and jingle the gear shift to see if it's the neutral safty switch. Why would the car die like that?
