Is it possible you turned the car (computer) completely off by turning the key back too far, and that's what it didn't like?

Was this your first attempt at trying this - at 65 mph on the highway?
The ACC position on my truck is actually behind OFF, and you have to push the button to get it there. So clockwise you have ACC - OFF - ON - START.

I did find a similar situation on google from owners attempting to simply push-start an S-10. Apparently ANY time you start the vehicle, the key must be in the start position. So attempting to pop the clutch even in first gear, say due to a dead battery or bad starter, you must hold the key forward or the Security light will immobilize the vehicle... CRAZY!
