There is a park release button in the shifter. Look on the left corner of your shift panel. Do you see a tiny square panel about the size of a postage stamp? Pry it open with a small screw driver. Once open, there's a shift release button inside. Take your screw driver and push the button. Now your shifter should be free. See if car will start now. Also try to start it in neutral if not starting in park. You may have a bad neutral safety switch. Here's a short video. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=B7k6tNGLO0w
