Try it in neutral (if its automatic), your shift linkage or neutral safety switch may be out of adjustment. In most cases this is an indicator that the starter solenoid is about to completely fail. Sometimes when this starts to happen you can jump directly to the solenoid from the battery, shortening the circuit and providing more current to the solenoid. Start thinking about installing a reman Bosch starter because 9 times out of 10 that is the only cure. Unless of course you're cheap and want to go for a solenoid only. The down side to this is the rest of the starter is just as tired.
