your owner's manual will tell you how to over-ride the shift lock. ususally there is a hole covered by a plastic piece, next to the shifter. pop out the cover and push the button to shift. The shifter will lock back up in park until you fix the problem. You may want to set the parking brake and use neutral when you park the car instead of " Park". That way you will not have to push the release button-it will eventually break.
make sure your brake lights work; as the shift lock is powered by the brake light fuse-replace as needed.
I have the same problem. When my dealer changed my coolant I now seem to have a stuck thermostat. They are denying they did it. I haven't changed the thermostat yet but that is the problem.
are you stuck in park? are you on a hill? if so,you're gonna need some help shaking the car back @ forth, seen this many times@not unusual. while sometimes it happens.rock the car back@forth while trying to shift out of park
well there should be a little round plug by the shifter that you pop out and you can put a screw driver in the hole and release the shifter and you should check All the fuses and check the terminals on the battery

Took car to dealer and found out it was an electric component called a shift lock controler solenoid which was an extented warranty and it solve the problem .
