Two possible conditions: 1 the ignition switch is worn and the tumblers are hanging inside the housing. 2 the shifter interlock is not coming back to the unlock position. Both repairs require taking some of the steering column apart. I suggest letting a shop do this. Hope this helps click accept for me. Thanks.
