I believe the only way to move the shift lever out of park is to put your foot on the brake and start the engine. You can than move the lever to neutral, shut the engine off and restart it in neutral when you're ready.

If you press and hold the start button for 5ish seconds the car will go into service mode. That's the same as having the engine running. You can shift it then, just don't forget to turn the car off when you're done.

If I recall correctly when I changed out the console, once in Neutral, the car will not shutoff service mode until you put it in park. So you dash will be all light up till it is happy in park.
