I pulled into work backed into my parking spot when I went to put it in drive it still went in reverse. I tried all gears and it still went in reverse I had to shut it off just to keep from hitting anything and to get it to stop, now because it is reverse it wont start eaither. I am a 53 yr old female single and know alittle about engines is there something I can do to get a quick fix until I can get it to shop

Maybe the shift linkage came off. Open hood look at trans see if cable or connection to shift lrver is off. You maybe able to rig a repair to get to shop[.
Good luck
