Car won't stay in park

Hi my explorer will shift into park and the indicator is on park, but you can push the car and it slips out of park. For example, when going from reverse to park, the shifter is on park but the car rolls backward and a putting noise is heard, like it is stuck between park and reverse. This also happens when going from drive to park.
Thanks

Like I said, check the cable for stretching or out of adjustment

If your not familiar with its operation, let a shop check it for you.
