bad motor mounts and that is just the engine speed that creates the right frequency to make it noticable?
since it's in park it can't be anything behind the tranny right.
flex plate broken?

This is simple to check. I would raise the car, remove the flexplate shield and shine a flashlight. Rotate the engine and you can see the entire flexplate. Turn it via the crankshaft bolt. If that is fine, have you checked the harmonic balancer? You would need to set it to TDC for #1 and see if it is at 0. Your balancer could have come off the rubber and rotated out of place.
