If it is in any other position the shift pawl will move into the blocker ring and prevent the shifter shaft from moving. It's probably OK. There is also a rare possibility that the solenoid is stuck in the engaged position.

Also, that lever is not a neutral or a freewheel control.
With it pulled foreward the OD is locked out and the transmission acts as a regular 3 speed.
With it retracted to the rear it allows the OD engagement along with the electrical components.
