why are you shifting around anyway with a automatic? You should only need to use drive and reverse. it isnt a manual so those are the only 2 gears you need to use. You shouldnt even use the neutral gear. Whenever you are stopped, you should be in park. But if it feels hard, change your tranny fluid, it should then shift into gears smoother.

Yeah could be dirty or insufficient tranny fluid, or maybe if you were parking on a hill, you didnt use the parking brake and the weight of the car put all the pressure on the tranny, making it hard to **** out of park when you leave.
