The T-handle on the shifter won't release to get out of gear
Check to see if there is a switch near brake pedal (many domestics)
some are under the shifter housing. (most imports)
if you have a friend with the same kind of car, have them step on the brake with the ignition on and listen for the quiet clicking sound....follow it
SOURCE: car will not shift into gear
Sounds like a linkage/cable to me. Disconnect the linkage at the transmission and move the shift actuator by hand to see if there is the same things happening. Don't try to do this with the engine running unless someone is holding the brake inside the car.
SOURCE: key is stuck shiftr doesnt lock in to release it
Does your key turn all the way to where it should be when you usually take it out of the ignition? If not, then you have a bad nuetral saftey switch. If so try turn the wheel in either direction while attempting to pull out the key. I hope tis helped you out. It would be greatly appreciated if you could rate my answer, Thanks. MIKE-
