The easiest way is to release the cable from the transmission under the car. It is a small plastic clip. Very simple task to pop it loose with a straight blade screwdriver. NOTE!, make sure you set the parking brake or block the wheels FIRST so you don't run yourself over.
Sometimes when used to driving manual transmissions, we forget to press the brake pedal to release the safety so we can shift the automatic into gear. It will not shift out of park unless you do this.
The shift lock release is usually a button on the side of a shifter. The shift lock release button needs to be pushed in before the car can be moved from Park to another gear.
why is my 2006 Nissan altima gear shift stuck in park
Look in the owners manual. There is a button close to gear shift that you can press in a sequence to get unstuck.
What to do when the gear is stuck in park on a Honda 2001

Depress the brake pedal to shift.
neutral safety switch
When you press the brake, a switch on the back of the pedal activates a solenoid in the shift console that allows you to move the shift lever out of park. If the switch or solenoid fails, you won't be able to shift out of park. There is a bypass for this. You can stick a screwdriver in the side of the console to manually move the solenoid so that you can shift it. You will have to do this every time you shift out of park until you fix the problem. The owners manual covers it in more detail.
it happened to me too. look under your owners manual it tells you how to move it out of park. its an electrical problem There us a known issue with a plastic lever in the shifter assembly breaking, Chrysler does sell it separately
There is a plastic piece inside the gear shift console that breaks and makes it impossible to move out of park without special effort. Do not try to force the gear shift or you will just make things worse.
