I have had the same problem. If you are parked on and incline somtimes the automatic transmission bindes up and it won't come out of park. Be sure to use your parking break on uneaven ground so it takes the load and not the tranny. Another reason can be that your brake pedal sensor switch is faulty. Make sure your brake lights are coming on when you press the pedal. Lastly try this and it should work. Turn the key to the on position without starting the motor. Step on the brake and shift into neutral, then start the car, put is in gear and there you have it.

Why wont my 1989 Chevy truck shift out of 1st gear?

Can you use park, neutral, or reverse? If so then your tranny is in limp mode. The only gears that work are 2nd and reverse. Check the cable to your tranny and see if it is plugged all the way in. If it is then you have other electrical problems and need to have your truck looked at. I'm not sure if an 89 still has a vacuum modulator on it or not. If the vacuum line to it is off it will only shift after over revving it. Can you shift it manually? Start in low and shift at the proper RPM?
