I had an E250 van that had that problem. It was a bad neutral safety switch. I realize we are talking about two completely different vehicles, but it might apply.
On mine you could put the transmission into Neutral instead of Park and it would start.
I drove for two weeks until I could get it replaced.
You might give it a try, if it works it will let you get home to a mechanic you know.
Unfortunately, with the keypad operated transmission, there is no way to put it into Neutral unless the keypad is operating. There is no shift lever.
