There could be one of 3 things happening.
-BOO (Brake On/Off Switch) Unplugged/Malfunction causing the shifter interlock solenoid to not disengage.
I once had someone with large feet kick the BOO switch wire off, preventing my vehicle from shifting out of park. If the BOO is faulty it can cause this situation as well.
-Broken wiring or burned fuses
Likelihood of this is possible, but less possible than the BOO being faulty or unplugged.
-Shift interlock solenoid stuck or burned out.
The likelihood of this occurring is least possible as this issue is commonly remedied by replacement or reconnection of the BOO.

I can't imagine the two are related. Try turning your steering wheel left and right when taking it out of Park. Sometimes just releasing the pressure on the shift mechanism lock will allow you to get it out of Park. For the brake lights, check the fuses. Good luck.
