I'm not an expert on these....but I believe there is an interlock cable from shifter to column. Look under hood and see if it goes to a lever where column comes out of firewall. Move it around and see what happens.

Sometimes the column housing gets loose and you can wrap your hand around it and twist it to get it unlocked.
