Sounds like either a sensor is dead or the button wire is broke.
You need to press down on the brake first on many cars before you can switch the car out of park.

Why would the shifter in an automatic 93 Subaru Impreza not release to go into gear?
I have had the same problem with my '93 Impreza. The button on the automatic shifter will not depress to take it out of park. There is an override option in the owner's manual but I think the real problem is the brake light sensor. Ocassionaly, when I can actually get it out of park, you can hear a clicking noise when the brake petal is pressed, this is the shifter-lock releasing. It must be the sensor for the brake petal going bad.
