i had had the same thing happen to me once on my 08' Passat.
im trying to think if I remember why it did that.
If I remember correctly, I had to turn on the parking brake, make sure the car was in park, then turn off the parking brake.

You might want to also try the correct B8 A5/A4 forums. This is the B8 S4 forum. Somewhat different cars but also has similarities. How old is your battery? Its most likely dead. Classic symptoms.
