Parking on the incline would not cause this. Rack the shift lever all the way back and then forward into park. If that doesn't work, you need a mobile mechanic.
The s-types have a lot of issues sticking in park when the car is parked on an incline, sometime you can rock the vehicle and release it from park.
They had many issues with the J-gate assemblys and also the shifter cables. If the caris on an incline and you are able to remove it from park then in future you can apply the handbrake before putting the vehicle in park and that will take care of the issue rather than spending tons of money with the stealer. Do not force the shifter as there is a plastic piece which is part of the j-gate that will break and you will then need to purchase a j-gate assembly
Check the brake lights to see if they are working. The transmission shifter gets an electric signal from the brake light switch telling it the brakes are on and it's OK to shift. If the lights are not working check the fuse. If the fuse is fine then check the brake light switch. It's usually located somewhere around the brake pedal.
In future, when on put it in park only AFTER the handbrake is applied. Ideally, foot brake, shift to N, apply handbrake, release foot brake, shift to park.
If the incline isn't steep have someone push car uphill while you gently move gearshift shift out of park. If its a steep hill, call a tow truck and move to a level surface. The parking pawl in the transmission becomes groved over time (and sticks) unless you use the handbreak as described.
The brake switch may be bad on the pedal. Brake lights may still work but signal to trans is lost somewhere. First make sure all fuses are ok. Then test the switch. Voltage should be present on one wire then with the pedal depressed the other wires should have voltage.
May Have Blown A Fuse Due To Installing The wrong Bulb .check the brake lights If they dont work May Have Blown A Fuse And Disabled The Shift Interlock At The Shifter Try To Put The Car In Nutral With The Key Off Then Start The Car And See If The Car Goes In Gear
If you are parked on an incline the vehicle can get stuck in park.
You will need to rock the car back and forth while someone disengages park, so when you park on any type of incline, apply the handbrake first, before you select park.
This is a common issue with the Jaguar X-type and the S-type too.
