First gear? So it’s a manual transmission? Please depress the clutch pedal completely down to floor before attempting to turn off car.

SOURCE: Key stuck in ignition when in park in 1999 Chrysler Concorde

When the car is in park, push the shifter firmly up past park and keys will come out. This is a very common problem with GM vehicles. The pins wear out easily

SOURCE: dead battery

It could be a defective ignition switch as well (it has a disabling circuit) thinking the vehicle is stolen. The dealer has the equipment to see if is throwing a code for that.

My 2010 chevy hhr is stuck in park wont go into gear transmission auto I start the car push down on the brake and cant move the shifter at all cant put it in drive or any gear

Look on the brake pedal lever for an electric switch. Replace the switch and see if that works. If not, get under the vehicle and look for a loose wire on the transmission. If this doesn't work, you will have to take the vehicle to a transmission shop. There is likely a loose wire or a bad servo inside the transmission. But the shop will first run a diagnostic check. They will then know what the problem is and repair it.

Why does the battery light stay on. when ive already put new alternator and new bettery in car.

It could be the wire from the alternator to the ECM. Or the ECM has shorted.

Problem is most likely park shift interlock. This has to do with shifter. The vehicle don't know it is in park and will not allow shut off or key remove. Need to take vehicle to a repair shop and have fixed.

My hhr will not turn off, where is the battery so i can disconnect it

Unplugging the battery won't shut it down I don't think.

Get into your fuse box under the dash or in the engine compartment and pull the fuse for the fuel pump.
