If this the case, it would be advisable to get into the habit of using the parking brake or it may not be in the same place you left it.
I posted before that there is nothing wrong with the shifter. It's not rattling or sloppy like my 300D used to me, its shifter is quite firm. I think that it's the starter switch. They don't cost too much, but I don't know how easy the job is for the beginning DIY'er.
