Re: My 2003 ford mustang is skipping in gear but not it...
The engine is misfiring under a load, the most common cause is a bad spark plug , bad spark plug wire or a bad ignition coil. in any case a good old fashioned tune up should take care of it......HAVE FUN

Could be the brake switch, or the shift lock solenoid. Both components would need to be tested. And you may be able to shift out of park if you try before you turn the key switch to the on position.
check fuses for brake shift solenoid. the brake pedal position switch is a fuse under the hood. inside the passenger compartment, check every fuse. that's a start for not having more information.
The differential will have a plug in the driver's side of the housing that is removed with a 3/8" drive ratchet or square drive. Be sure you know what type of fluid is recommended for your vehicle. It will depend on whether it is a locking differential or standard.
There is an interlock that requires the brake pedal to be depressed in order to shift the car into gear. So...first question (I have to ask!): Did you make sure to press the brake while trying to shift out of park? If so, theres a good chance that the brake switch is bad.
