Perhaps your brake interlock isn't working. That's the deveice that releases the shifter when you depress the brake. Most cars have a manual override. You probably will remove a cover and press a button with a pen or screwdriver. It should be near the shifter. Check your owner's manual for details.

There should be a shift release slot in the upper left corner of the shifter. If you stick a pencil in the slot you should be able to release the car from park.

On a 1994 Mazda 626 How do get the button on the shifter to switch back over to automatic from overdrive it is stuck in overdrive and when you push the button it won't switch back?
The button does not switch from Overdrive to Automatic. The button just turns the overdrive off. Overdrive is not a separate drive system as your question implies. Normally you leave the car in overdrive mode. That way the transmission shifts into overdrive at highway speeds, thus saving fuel. If you are saying the transmission is stuck in overdrive and it will not disengage then seek out a A/T professional.
