Look under the dash at the Brake pedal lever. The switch that operates the Brake system when you press the pedal to release the gearshift, is either broken or has been knocked around by a foot. This is fairly common. You will probably also find that the Brake lights don't work anymore.

You will need to reposition or replace this switch.

Gear selector won't shift from park to reverse

Could be the brake switch or the solenoid that locks the shifter in park.
That circuit would need to be tested.

Nisson Altima will not shift out of park. Stuck in the parking lot... can anyone help ASAP???

Change your brake light fuse, if it's blown. If that doesn't fix the problem, change your gear selector shift lock solenoid. That's what has to move, for you to be able to shift from park.

Car is stuck in Park. Will not shift after losing

Your car will only shift out of park with the brake pedal down. If this does not release it, there is a bypass switch that is located in your center console near your gear selector. You'll actually have to remove your center console in order to access this bypass switch.
