If it is an automatic transmission, make sure the car is started if it is in Park or Neutral, and press the brake pedal in as far as it can go. If the car is stuck in a gear other than neutral or park, DO NOT START IT. It will damage your engine and your transmission. Call a tow truck.

If it is a manual, press in the break pedal and the clutch pedal fully, and try to put it in gear. If it doesn't go, then put it in neutral, release the clutch, press in the clutch again, and try to put it in gear.

If none of this works, have your transmission serviced.

YOU CANT START A NORMAL AUTONATIC TRANSMISSION IN GEAR, HOWEVER YOUR DASH INDICATES THAT YOUR NOT IN GEAR. ONE CAUSE COULD BE DAMAGE TO THE LINKAGE BETWEEN YOUR TRANS AND GEAR SELECTOR. THIS WOULD INDICATE A DIFFERENT GEAR THEN THE GEAR SELECTED. YOU MAY ALSO CHECK THE PARK PINS IN YOUR TRANS.
