I was able to duplicate the symptoms you described by turning the ignition key switch slightly back from the "run" position while the car was in the driveway. I think you're on to the cause of the problem.

Okay, someone may hate me for saying this... but I flashed on a scene from the movie "Slingblade." All these guys are standing around a lawnmower wondering why it won't work and coming up wtih these amazingly technical reasons why. The so-called simpleton walks up to the machine, takes off the gas cap, and says, "It needs gas."
I was once stuck in a dead car - I tried to start it, no luck. Tried hotwiring it, no luck. The service station mechanic tried it - no luck. Sprayed WD40 on the connections, no luck. Finally my brother came and rescued me. He noticed I'd left it in drive rather than park. Problem solved. Boy was I embarrassed! [:I]
I think when my car finally comes in I'll have the simplest, bendy-wirey keychain with nothing else on it. I wouldn't want to go through your experience, that could put me off driving forever!
