I'm not completely familiar with the VW transmission, but I had a Subaru Impreza that had this problem one time. The problem was that the safety lock (that keeps you from taking it out of park without applying the brake) was tied into the horn relay on my Impreza. It's probably a similar issue with your VW, although it may be a different relay that has gone bad. In other words, check your relays & fuses, because it's more than likely an electrical issue. Also, in the Subaru, there was a small hole at the front of the shifter (in front of Park, beneath the plastic console) that you could insert a screwdriver into to bypass the relay in order to drive the car until the relay could be repaired. Again, not sure about VW's design, but I hope this information is useful!
What else can I help you with?
How do i fix a 1995 Monte Carlo LS not staying in park and causing key to get stuck?
Key is designed to not come out unless the transmission is in the park position. If the shifter is in park but the transmission is not, then the linkage (which hooks the shifter to the transmission) has somehow come out of adjusment. It will need to be adjusted - I would suggest having this done by a professional.

Check the fuse for the brake lights. If that fuse is blown it will not come out of park.
Why won't my topaz come out of park even though the linkage is moving?
Do you mean that the shifter is able to move from park to drive and back, but the transmission is still in park? Is it possible that the shifter cable is broken, or has come off at the transmission. You will have to jack up the car, on safety jacks, have someone move the shifter, while you look at the linkage right at the transmission. Should give you the answer. The shifter itself could also be broke. Good luck.

What should I do if I have wiggled the steering wheel and is still won't come out of park on my 2000 Cadillac Seville?
I will bet that you are parked on a hill. If the car drifts backwards, it can bind the park pin in the transmission and make it difficult to take it out of park. Before you have it hauled off to the transmission shop, see if you can convince some friends to push the car uphill an inch or 2 while you try to drop it out of park.
Why won't the key come out of the ignition if the P for Park is not illuminated on the dash of an automatic 1990 Honda Accord DX?
because the light is the indicator that the transmission has locked into place, if it doesnt then the transmission will give you hell...
