Also make sure that your cable is running smoothly and that you are positively in gear. It make sound obvious, but the forward "detente" on an A4 needs a push to fully engage, and cable tweaking is often necessary, as is cable lubrication.

Of course, if you have crew, they can physically pull the gear lever with their hands (pick a crew with short hair!) pretty easily. If the problem persists, you need a transmission adjustment. If it doesn't, check the cable linkages.
