Why won't mu 1999 honda accord's gearshift move from park when the silver button is pushed

This car has a park lock safety system that will only release the shifter if the brake pedal is pushed and the brake lights work, so first thing is to check and see if you have brake lights.

Key stuck in 2009 chevy hhr ignition help please

You may want to try pushing fordward harder into the park position while turning the key to the off position. The locking cable may need adjustment. If this does not work, try turning the collar just behind the keyswitch counter clockwise while trying to remove the key.Thanks, Dana

Gear shifter is stuck in park and is hard to push button in

Have the brake lights checked to verify they work, if they are not working the system will stay locked in park, most likely the problem is a degfective brake light switch.
