94 starts only in neutral? Nov 3, 2008 3:33:05 GMT -5

I have a 1994 toyota pickup, 4 cylinders and automatic transmission. Lately I've been having trouble starting it... it will only start when the shifter is in neutral, and I have to jiggle it around for a while before it finds the right spot and starts. I have also managed to start it a couple of times by pushing the shifter forward beyond "Park". I had hit the shift-lock override in order to push it down the driveway before... does it have to be reset somehow, or is this a more serious transmission problem?
