SOURCE: Sometimes when I put my 2000 kia sportage in park,

Sounds like a messed up the shift linkage, and its possible that need just one adjust or repaired it. There is a paw in the transmission that lock the transmission when in park. If you recently make any repair its possible that the technician broke the paw by slaming the transmission in park while it was still moving. It could be an expensive repair if they have to go into the tranny.

Keep us updated.

SOURCE: shifter is stuck in park.

these systems have solenoid which is controlled by the brake pedal.the solenoid should b located underneath shifter.u have to remove trim panels on shifter , access the solenoid and check for power an ground at solenoid with key on and brake pedal depressed. the solenoid unlocks the shifter gate that loks out gears until the brake pedal is depressd therefore allowing u to shift the shifter. not really hard to do.jus need to b careful on popping out plastic trim pieces and know how to nuse an voltmeter or test light. if u have power an ground at solenoid safe to say solenoid bad. also try tappin on solenoid while checking volts to see if it starts to work.if it does solenoid is bad

2002 Kia Spectra stuck gear shift

Sounds like you need a new shifter assembly, or the brake switch. Most likely will be the shifter though if you can move it out of park with the override.
