This might seem weird but a lot of people like my daughter who has kids drop things into the floorboard which migrate to underneath the shifter console where those objects interfere with shifting! Just a thought.
If i understand your question correctly, your shifter is stuck in park? Hopefully that is the case, look on the top part of the shifter console, there is a little square cover. You need to pop it open and press down on the button at the same time you take the shifter out of park.
It sounds like the shifter even though it shows its in park may not be fully ingaged Try shoving up on shifter and at same time try removing key.I believe it`s catching on the ignition lock.
I have a toyota solara 2001 with 180,000 miles and i have spent about $400 on repair since i bought it new. It's the best car ever and beleive it or not, he is right there, but it isn't a piece of plastic, it's a shift lock, which runs about $400 to fix from the dealer. I got my replaced when i broke it trying to park on down hill..
