You don't need to have car running to get it out of park.

Try puting key in the ignition and turning to the accessory position, hold down brake pedal and try shifting out of park to neutral.

There is a cable that runs from the ignition switch to the shifter that locks it in place, this procedure will verify that this is working correctly.

Well I researched all the threads and saw one where a poster said to push the shifter to the right and it would unlock the pin,Dang sure did!!! I always appreciate all the great input from you folks.Even when your post doesnt help the one asking, it may help many others at other times. Thanks to all , AGAIN.
