It is possible that it might not be all the way in park. Most cars have a neutral safety switch which only allows them to start in park or neutral. But if it is not all the way in park it will not start.

See if you can put it in neutral and try to start it. If it starts in neutral without any problems you might need to adjust your shift linkage a bit.

I have seen a lot of cars when they get older you have to wiggle the shift lever while it is in park to get it to start.

Just a guess. It could be a couple of dozen things wrong with it.
