My 95 Z28 shifter gets stuck in park when cold is there a switch in the brake peddel?
Stec1
On my 95 Z28 (with Automatic Transmission), there is a solenoid which releases the shifter button when the brake is pressed so the car can only start with the transmission in park. When the solenoid starts to go bad, it tends to not release in colder weather. I was able to get around this problem by using by hand to lifting up on the solenoid (or by rotating it) while pressing on the brake (perhaps the solenoid shaft binds from ware in the old orientation). I used a piece of wire to lift up on the solenoid by tying it to a nearby bracket, which fixed the problem for now.

If it is stuck in park it is most likely the brake lock switch on most cars there's a cable and switch at the shifter from the brake pedal when you push on the brake pedal the switch pulls out and unlocks the shifter so you can shift the car out of park. Some cars have a little slot by the shifter where you can insert a key to unlock the shifter.

Check and see if you have brake lights - If there are no brake lights then your shifter release solenoid will not release the shifter, it will be stuck in park. If this has happened then please check the wiring on the brake light switch which is located on the brake pedal. You will probably find a broken wire.
