I've had this problem for a while now. We went camping this Memorial Day weekend and it did this to the point that no amount of waiting or pushing fixed it, we called a tow truck to get it back to town and when the tow truck driver got out there he fixed it right away.
To the right of the shifter is a small circular cap. Lifting that cap reveals a hole. At the bottom of that hole is a small button (you will need a long Phillips head screw driver or something of equivalent shape and size to reach it) depressing the button inside the hole will release the shift-lock and allow you to put it in drive.
The tow truck driver informed me that this is caused by a bad "shift solenoid". The shift solenoid (to my understanding) basically informs the shifter when the brake pedal is depressed, a bad one means that the shifter is not getting that signal and will not release the shifter for use. This is not a permanent fix, the tow truck driver was adamant in recommending having a professional take a look at it as soon as possible, and I will do this same and recommend to you to go get it looked at as soon as possible.
