Also try to see if one of your brake calipers are siezed. That would cause your car to pull to one side but you also said it only does it when you shift. Check the axles maybe?

Anyways, check the balance of your tires. I had a blowout on the freeway one day and the tires weren't balance. Almost killed myself -_-

It could be the the Lower Tie Rod Ends, but the "steering moves by itself" happens only when driving, yours seems to do stationary?
