Pull the shift know off and make sure the button is engaging the plunger. Also, put your foot on the break when you're trying to move it with the shift lock. Sometimes they go into a safe mode (like when in park) and need the brake to be engaged to release the shifter.

check a fuse as well..this happened to me and my fuse went out in my car.....I think it was a result of my brake light fuse or something like that.

yeah its down in the shifter panel area...you just pull off the shifter to release the brake and you can still drive it.
