you probably have 2 problems:1 the "sticking" probem is the shifter cable;it needs to be replaced(do yourself a favor and buy a genuine honda part for this ,it'll save you alot of trouble and frustration during replacement and after!
second the flashing light means you have a trouble code with the transmission. Change the cable then disconnect the battery for at least 30 seconds. Drive the car for a couple of days or more and if the light never returns it was just because the cable wasn't allowing the park-neutral switch to properly seat in each position.
