Why is tempo shifter stuck in park?

There is a plastic rod inside of the shifter arm, it unlocks the shifter from the park position when the button on the shifter handle is pressed. So, press in on the shifter button and pull the shift handle straight UP (you might have to pull hard). You should be able to remove the broken pieces of the plastic rod with some wire. You might have to go to a junk yard for a replacement.

What should you do if your Pontiac grand am transmission is having problems shifting from park into drive what could be wrong?

It's called a BTSI Switch. You have to have your foot on the brake in order to press the button on the shifter to be able to shift out of Park. If the button on the shifter will not depresss, it is probably just that. It is integral to the shifter. You have to get the WHOLE unit. Take a friend to a junkyard and pull the whole assy. I did and it wasn't hard. Works perfect

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.
