Typically, that indicates that the brake interlock is non-functional. A few cars will not shift out of park unless you are holding the brake. Most new cars will not shift into park unless you hold the brake. It could also mean that your locking pawl is bound up because you are parked on a hill. If that is the case, you can enlist the help of some friends to push or rock the car back and forth while you try to shift, That takes the load off the pawl and un-binds it. If you find that to be the problem and you have no choice but to park on the hill, avoid it by setting the hand brake before you shift into park.
