Put your foot on the brake.

If a Ford Focus is stuck in park, you should first check to make sure the gear is not stuck. You also need to make sure you have your foot on the brake in order to move it out of park.
Make sure your car is on.
A Ford F-150 will often be stuck in park if the brake interlock switch is defective. It prevents the vehicle from shifting unless it detects the brake is being held.
because ford stink they can always have problems like that
You need to start the car, put your foot on the brake pedal, and then you can get outta PARK!!
Usually you have to press the brake to release from park, if this does not work, there is a fuse to operate this. Check with your local Ford dealer, they can help you.
If your Ford Contour is stick in park, the transmission may be going out. You gear shift may also not be all the way in place.
Check all the linkage from the transmission.
It could mean that you need Transmission Fluid.
