The car would still crank over tho.

What light is comming up on the dash?

I think it would be the inhibitor switch (i think thats what its called) on your transmission.
The gearbox dosn't think its in park so wont let you start the car.
Go under your car from the passenger side and you will see a white plastic thing on your gearbox. spray it with some wd40 and try and give it ago then.

Also try and start your car in Neutral.
