There is a safety switch located behind your brake pedal arm behind the actual brake pad that evidently has gone bad that must be replaced, I believe average cost is @$20.00 for the part.

Why would a 2006 Toyota Corolla automatic transmission gearshift refuse to shift from park to drive with the brake pedal and gearshift button depressed?

The problem with the Gear Shift Leaver not shifting even when the pushbutton and the brake pedal are depressed indicated that there is a problem with the electronic throttle control system (ETC). The ETC sends messages to the On-board diagnostic computer (OBD) which does not permit the transmission lever to be moved. This problem can be corrected by going to your Local Toyota Dealer which has a hand held computer to correct the error in the ETC. The OBD computer may have to be reset to reset the ETC as well.
