car stalled, went into neutral. had to restart engine?

This morning, i was in a stop and go traffic and the car went into neutral on its own when i stopped and gave me an error "Transmission not in Park". I couldn't shift to Park. had to start up the engine again to get it running again, the error went away. Anyone experience this before?

my car is 2011, no auto start/stop feature, at least not in Canada.

did some research, similar to this OP http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=493774

edit:
auto park was not on
mileage : 59,000km
car will be 5 years in 2-3 months

Happened to a 2011 I test drove back in the day. I'm thinking lock up torque converter did not uncoupple when the car came to a stop.

hopefully it was just a one off, car is out of warranty.
