I am not familiar with this model but the lock is a safety feature that only releases when you press the brake pedal. This an electrical process so if the supply is low then it won't work. Try charging the battery.
Do you mean engine is not running? Many cars wont let you shift out of park (without using tricks) unless engine is running.
Your foot must be on the brake too.
I believe it is. There is a shifter interlock that goes from the ignition switch to the brake that locks the transmission in park until the brake pedal is depressed with the key on. Most all vehicles have an over ride that allows the interlock to be bypassed. If you have an owners manual, it will tell you how to do this.

You need a new inhibitor switch on the gear selector.

Check to see if your brake light switch is bad. When you have this problem ask someone to check to see if your brake lights are working when pressing on the brake peddle. If they are not working, then your brake switch is bad. It is located on the floor board. When this goes bad you cannot put into drive. Hope this helps.
