Bad transmission. I had this same issue when I was trying to buy my Volvo. Dude tried to pull the wool over my eyes and didn't think I'd reverse it. I did, and it did the same thing you're talking about.

CEL on or Up Arrow? Do the reverse lights work when you put it in reverse? Have you tried reading the codes?

Your transmission is done. This happened to my bosses trunk when I was in college. I ended up having to push him out of the parking spot.

No problem. This link explains how to check OBD I codes, which I think you have since your car is a 95'. -> http://volvospeed.com/CheckEngine.php

It may be that your transmission is toast since you say that it feels like it's starting out in 2nd gear. A transmission flush/drain and fill may help. I still think you should check out the PNP switch. The up arrow is obviously a bad thing. Have you tried getting the codes?
