On a 2000 Grand Marquis what could cause the gear to get stuck in park?

With just about any automatic transmission if you park on a slope and don't set the parking brake, the car rolls downhill a little bit until the transmission locks and it can't roll any farther. This can cause the car to get stuck in park. You might have to get another car to push you slightly uphill to disengage the parking pawl within the transmission (just a couple of inches, no more.) Whenever parking on a slope you should set the parking brake first, then put the car in park.

You say your car is stuck in park but still shifts. I would say start with checking to see if your transmission linkage is still hooked up. That would be the first place to start.

Park for automatic transmissions, and Neutral for stick shifts.
