Put your foot on the brake to shift out of park.
Here's something to consider..... Sometimes, when one parks against a curb, there is a tendency for the ignition switch and the gear shift to kind of get in a bind. Sometimes, forcing the steering wheel to turn a bit, one way or the other, will relieve the pressure of things so that the gear shift or the ignition switch will function properly... OR, you might try putting the gear shift in Neutral... and then returning it to Park... Just some thoughts...

I had the same problem today - January 30th 2009. what i did was spray
some WD40 in the cylinder and sprayed the key with WD40, then inserted
the key in the ignition, then "lightly" and i mean "lightly" tapped the
end of the key with the end of a wrench (my brass hammer was not in
reach) 3 or 4 times. removed the key and then inserted again - then
"all was well. the ignition turned, car started, and i will now wait
till the next time something goes wrong with the car...

i have a 2002 jeep grand cherokee i had the same problem when i would apply my brakes when the headlights were on my brake lights would go out, i found that my bulbsocket was not making good contact with the socket housing, if you notice when you take off a bulb, look at the light fixture where you unscrewed your breaklight bulb you will notice 3 medal contacts-they should be silver in the socket housing and like a copper on the socket bulb, in the socket housing their should be 2 silver contacts together and 1 by itself the one that looks by itself is making bad contact with the copper one thats by itself on the bulb, what you can do for a quick fix is; get a small piece of low cage wire or a thin piece of metal like copper stick that in to the bottom or top of that metal contact--i did it through the bottom leave the wire or piece of medal sticking out enough for where it can get contact with the bulb (just a little wire is enough to make contact, now screw the bulb on and test it---it will work----i did it to mine, if you need more assistance let me know [email protected]

I cannot give you an answer without verify that this is your vehicle, and that you are the owner.
