at a guess from what you describe,its probably an electrical fault. As its an automatic,it will not start unless its in neutral,but the computer has not recognised this.
You have to take it to a garage that specialises in electrical diagnostics(vauxhall probably best) sorry but its going to cost you unless you know someone in the trade.
p.s. how old is the car ?
