Are you parked on a hill, by any chance?

Or were you when you had to rock it?

It sounds like the parking pawl is sticking inside the tranny; this is usually caused by putting the tranny in park on a hill and not putting the e-brake on at all or putting it on after you have removed your foot from the brake and the truck has moved.
