I pulled over to to side of the street and turned my engine off and took the keys with me and forgot to place the car in parked and it was still in drive and it didn't move. Is that normal? Does a car have to be in parked in order for the engine to start?

The car can roll away when its left in drive and shut off. Normally you cant take the keys out unless its in park. The car will start in park or nuetral.

First of all your keys should have been locked into the steering colunm until you put it in park. If it starts in gear you need to repair the neutral safety switch before you run into something. The switch is usually at the bottom of the steering colunm near the floorboard. The screws holding it may have jolted loose.

Usually it does have to be in park to turn on, and depending on what type of car it is, it would stay put, or roll if it's at an angle.

Have your steering coloum checked out. If you can take your key out in any other gear except park, some thing is wrong.
