The car has a history of having electrical problems. The car doors not do not properly lock or unlock upon initiation (some doors need to be unlocked by hand). Sometimes the car is able to turn over after about 7 tries with the ignition.
Took it for vehicle inspection a couple days ago and it passed.
Took it to the dealership yesterday when it stalled on me and the dealer said it was my fault ("you got to push hard and put it in 'Park'") when it automatically worked for him. I put the vehicle in park and I push the key into the ignition hard and the same thing STILL KEEPS HAPPENING!
What could it be?

The fuses were checked and repaired.

If you have to lean on the shift lever to start it, it's a mis adjusted neutral safety switch. Try starting it in neutral.
The electrical problems might have a very easy fix. Check the ground connection between the engine and the chassis. If it's bad or missing, you'll have all kinds of electrical problems.

Putting all the answers together 1; check the "Crank Shaft Position Sensor" 2; ignition Switch "Key Cylinder" 3; Eng. to Chase ground 4; (Very likely) Transmission shift lever out of adjustment. Over the years we have found things that are that simple!

You might have a bad ignition switch/short some where. Have you check all your fuses/relays.
