Shifter cable has a tendency to pop off of the shifter tube under dash .. Parking on an incline puts extra pressure on the transmission parking pawl - then when shifting into gear - the cable can become dislodged from the shift tube at the bottom of the steering column . Just something I have fixed in the past.
In any event .. That's indicative of shifter cable 'circuit' failure > On one end OR the other.
Usually the cable socket can be 'snapped' back onto the shift tube ball .. Best to use parking brakes when parking on an incline.
