Have a look at this thread on the Jag owners forum:

Seems its linked to excessive wheelspin in snowy conditions. There is a pic on that thread of how you can get it out of park.

Sounds like a network fault to me, Hard reset might fix it if its that. But could be as simple as a faulty brake pedal switch. Both the gear selctor interlock and the Electronic Park Brake need to see brake pedal signal.

If the battery voltage drops too low during cranking it'll bring up the p/brake and DSC fault,drive it for a while and restart it,that normally cures it!
