Semi Starting Trouble

Our 1994 Turbo wagon sometimes has trouble starting. What I notice the
problem to be is the shift lever (automatic) or shift cable. Sometimes if I
rock the car back and forth it seems to 'lock' in park thus allowing it to
start. Or the problem is that when I shift to park, its really not all the
way in park, thus not allowing me to start. It usually does eventually
start after 5 minutes or so if moving around.

Is there any adjustment I can make, or do you all think that this is a
bigger problem. I remember reading a post saying to move the shifter from
"Park" to "L" several times to clean the copper contacts...but this
sometimes doesnt work.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
