are you saying it's in park but it's still rolling backward?
first thing, like darrell said, is the shifter cable
after that, it's possible to have broken an axle, like a CV joint pulled out. the car will roll in park with this. look for a huge grease splatter area underneath.

Darrell said check the cable, I had the same problem on my 2001 car. I went under the car and a clip came off which loosened up the tension on the cable. But when it happened to me the car was in Park.
Get under the car and have someone shift the gears , see if everything is tight. DON'T FORGET TO BLOCK THE WHEELS UP!
or like the Mike said maybe the axle popped off.
Good luck
