You could try adjusting the tab on the shaft at the bottom of the steering-column that moves your neutral safety switch - worked for my '66.

And the not-staying-in-Park thing?
I ended up CAREFULLY grinding a notch deeper in the Park bit of the detent AND had a buddy build-up the worn part of the shifter lever.
