The Jeep must be in Neutral to shift into 4 wheel drive..Mine will shift into 4 wheel drive while sitting as long as Im in Neutral most of the time. If It doesn't drop in for me I just roll forward and it will drop right in...

Shifting from 2wd to 4wd can be done while in gear and driving along.

Relax.
If you were told to be in park, why do you believe that, but you won't believe me when I say you need to be in neutral?
This is from the owner's manual:
4H to 4L or 4L to 4H
With the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift
an automatic transmission to N (Neutral) or depress the
clutch pedal on a manual transmission. While the vehicle
is coasting at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift the transfer
case lever firmly to the desired position. Do not pause in
transfer case N (Neutral).
NOTE: Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the
vehicle completely stopped, however, difficulty may occur
due to the mating teeth not being properly aligned.
Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment
and shift completion to occur. The preferred
method is with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5
km/h). Avoid attempting to engage or disengage 4L with
the vehicle moving faster than 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
