A number of things can cause the shifter to stick in park. The most common thing is the brake light circuit not working. Here is how it works: When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, it energizes a solenoid that locks the shifter in PARK. As soon as the control module sees the brake light circuit activated by pressing the brake, the solenoid releases. To bypass this "feature," turn the ignition switch to the first position - unlocked but still OFF. The shifter will then be able to be moved from the PARK position to NEUTRAL to start the engine. HOWEVER, if the solenoid sticks MECHANICALLY, it may have to be removed to release the shifter. Personally, I don't like the interlock setup, but it is still probably a good idea. The idea is to force you to hold the brake to shift out of PARK.
