ugh that sucks
If you're lucky, there's an easy problem with the transmission.
Sometimes when you park the van, you'll lock the steering and it takes some fiddling to get it to unlock.
An automatic transmission can do the same if you don't work the brake pedal + shifter perfectly.
IF you're lucky that's all it is, and it's just a screwdriver turn to unlock to fix it.
If ... you're lucky.
Heck the owner's manual might even have a (slightly byzantine) procedure to do it yourself.
IFF
Good luck.
