Default Gearshift getting stuck on neutral after tranny oil change

Recently I have done 3 tranny drain and fills with t IV fluid. Total of 6 quarts exchanged. Now every other time I go to park my car ( going prom D to P) the lever gets stuck on N. So I have to move it back slightly l, not back into D but halfway out of N and then into P. Weirdest thing. I'm about to sell my car and I'd hate for this to freak out a potential buyer. I'm grateful for any thoughts on this

just fluid exchange, very simple just 2 quarts.
also it only happens with the engine running.
if i do try it while the car is simply ON it shifts fine every time
