It seems you have a defecive stop lamp switch. When pressing on the brake pedal, the switch activates a solenoid in the shifter column to release the shifter 'lock' mechanism.
Fortunately, park is not a function of the real internal transmission workings. (like clutches, gears, bands etc) Likely your shift cable or linkage needs adjustment, or the cable may have stretched and needs replacement. Even if the problem is inside the transmission, most parking mechanisms can be serviced by just removing the pan, not the entire unit.
