Default Start problem

Parked the vette in the garage and then came out later to start the car to leave, turned the key all the way over and there was no starter ingaugement. It acted as if the car was not in park. Turn the key off and tried again and same thing. Move the gear shift to neutral and still would not turn over. All lights on the dash come on, battery has full charge. Even moved the car and heard the trans lock in gear after putting gear shift in park. Need advise. Thanks
