SOMETIMES IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. TRY JIGGERING THE STEERING WHEEL AROUND.
Are you putting your foot on the brake ?
its broken !! take it to a mechanic
Align the shift indicator orreplace it. Your problem is strictly column mechanical.
If the trans has a load on it sometimes the shaft that goes into the park gear wont move. if on a hill get someone to push uphill while taking out of park if on flat ground rock it while trying to shift.
shift lock is malfunctioning. you can bypass it there is a little "switch" on the side of your shifter for this purpose. that should help temporarily i believe there is a sensor to tell it when to shift out of park and that when this malfunctions you're stuck in park
it is Ctrl + shift + C then it will come up ;)
this happened to my 2006 Toyota highlander...look under hood...a piece of foam was stuck up under parking brake so it couldn't shift into park
If the shifter will not come out of park, check the brake light fuse. The shifter release solenoid uses the brake light switch to unlock the shifter.

The shift lever cable may be damaged or out of adjustment.
Hold your brake down while doing so.
