Yes, it is possible to select reverse in flight, but You'd have to lift the throttle up over the flight idle gate. I can't imagine any scenario where someone would do that, even unintentionally on a departure. There have been mechanical failures which have resulted in in-flight prop reversing. That would seem more likely, if prop reversing is a factor.
