My sister has a Chrysler with this style shifter. It is not the easiest thing to get into park. You have to move the shift lever forward and hold it for a few seconds to get it into park. The shifter returns to the same place it is for drive/reverse/park. The lever is always in the same place when you let go of it. You have to really watch the lights on the dash to know what gear your in. It is a really stupid design. It does have door chime to tell you it is in gear but it sounds just like the chime for leaving the lights on. So if your lights are on and the engine running it is easy to leave it in gear. Here is a video of a 2015 Jeep Cherokee shifter working.
As for the older push button shifters they usually had a separate lever or pull knob for park. Which made the park actually easier than this "new" design.
I think if they would make the "Not in Park" warning LOUDER and a completely different sound than the other warnings would help. Truthfully making the shifter go to park if the door was opened would work too.
