    Sometimes people forget you have to push on the brake pedal to be able to move shifter.

Make sure you have brake lights.This is were the shifter solenoid gets it's signal from to get it out of gear.
One thing you can try is turn the igntion switch towards the run postion stopping just short of activating the electronics.Then try and move shifter to neutral then you can start it and out it into gear so you can drive it to get it fixed.

93 lincoln continental stuck in park

This is a problem with the Interlock switch. Under the dash you will see the Brake pedal lever and it will have a switch on it. If this switch is hit by the drivers' feet it can be moved or broken. You can verify this problem by looking for the Brakelights to work when the pedal is pressed. If NO brakelights, the switch is the problem.

The cars are made that before allowing you to shift into gear, your foot must be on the brake. If the signal does not work on the Brake pedal, the car will not go into gear.

GEAR SHIFT STUCK IN PARK HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS

check the fuses as if the brake light fuse is blown it won`t allow the shifter to move out of park.it has a shift interlock system so the gear shift won`t accidentally be moved out of park by mistake.

PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ON AND OFF

Usually that means there is slack in the Parking brake cable. If you have an owners manual it should mention using the Parking brake.

On most cars if you back up and use the Parking brake several times it will tighten the cable and adjust those brakes.

There is a switch under the dash that makes contact with the cable assembly and when the cable has slack, the switch will not make contact like it should. Thats when the light comes on.

Car wont move after warmed up

Stuck in snow, if you spin the tires for a prolonged amount of time you can overheat the transmission and damage it internally. Without seeing it, my best guess is that's what happened!
