Still wondering why it will go into the "park" position when not running, but won't when it is running.

There is a safety related blocking device that will stop you from selecting reverse when the transmission "senses" a road speed above about 10 kph (don't quote me on this figure I can't remember it exactly)
If you selector is all messed up then it might "think" you are trying to do something daft.
I would expect though you to be having NSS (neutral safety switch) related problems when you try and start the engine. It is quite easy to by-pass the NSS switch though. An easy check for this is to select a gear (say D 1 or 2) and then see if the engine starts...
...if the NSS seems to be working correctly and the shifter bushings are OK then I would expect you to have a transmission related problem that will most likely be something as simple as muck in the valve body - to a busted governor (expect other shifting trouble though) - back to incorrect fluid level.
