Could be a number of things. Make sure that you are setting the parking brake when you park, get into the habit of doing this all the time. Takes quite a bit of load off the parking pawl - especially when parked on an incline or hill. Make sure you step on the brake pedal before you shift out of park. Make sure the shift button is completely depressed before you step on the brakes. If the transaxle seems to be completely stuck - then you have an emergency shift release under a plastic cover (raised plastic clip on the shift assembly). You can pry that up with a flat bladed screwdriver, then insert the screwdriver in the opening to manual release the shifter. If the parking pawl is damaged or there is an issue with the shift interlock, you may find shifting out of park difficult to impossible.
