I almost crashed until I realized what was happening and put the car into neutral. (unfortunately, I overshot and put the car into park momentarily, which resulted in a slow leak of my transmission fluid that cost about $600 to fix).

Quick protip, since this is a pet peeve of mine: Automatic transmissions will shift from drive into neutral without the button pressed. This is to prevent exactly what happened to you. Also, you can shift from reverse into drive without pressing the button. Or even looking at the transmission readout, just slap it up or down, and you'll get where you need to go.
