If a Mazda jumps out of gear when in park, it could indicate a problem with the transmission or the parking mechanism. Potential causes include a malfunctioning shift interlock system, worn transmission components, or improper adjustment of the transmission linkage. It's important to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve the issue, as it could pose a safety risk. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can help prevent such problems.

The " park " position is not a drive gear , you select the " park " position when you don't want the vehicle to move , and it also allows you to remove the ignition key
You need a transmission or gear shifter repair. The only reason for it to roll is that it is not actually engaged in the park position.
On a 1999 Mazda MPV, the shift override feature is typically located on the gear selector itself. To engage it, you usually need to press a button or lift a lever at the base of the gear shifter, allowing you to move the shifter out of the "Park" position without pressing the brake pedal. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions related to your vehicle model.

The shift interlock on a Mazda 6 is typically located within the gear shift assembly. It is part of the mechanism that prevents the driver from shifting out of the "Park" position without pressing the brake pedal. Accessing it usually requires removing the center console or the gear shift cover, depending on the model year. If you're experiencing issues with the interlock, consulting the vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic is recommended.

Question: Is the car running or stalled? If stalled try starting it. If the key won't turn to start it or move to another position, try to move your steering wheel out of the locked position. Somtimes when there is resistance, or pressure against the lock you will not be able to turn the key - on or off. Question: Are you stopped on an incline? If so, the gear may not allow you to move to park (or out of park sometimes) if there is positive resistance on the transmission. This would prevent you from putting in park.
