Default C5 shift stuck in park

my first thread, so please dont bash me to badly. I did a quick search and only seen this discussed on the c6. not sure if they are the same. I have had it hang up a couple times, then i can hear something release and it will then shift into gear. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, david

That happened to me a couple of times. I would turn off car and restart and pushed up beyond park then bring down. Seemed to work for me, shifter cable your shifter will move, it won't go into gear. Hope this helps
