You've asked a good question!
This unfortunate problem happened to me also.
No one could supply an adequate answer until I met a guy that used to work for a Ford Dealer.
He looked at the fuze box and found a fuze burned out. When it was replaced I could immediately move the car out of park.
Check it out!

The 'easy' answer would be to tell you it's a Ford Taurus, but, that's not an answer you want to hear. It's possible that you need to wiggle your steering wheel because it's locked into a position against the locking pins in the steering column.
Also, remember to press the brake pedal.

Could be a couple of things, but I'll bet it's due to the fluid being too low. With the engine running and idling in Park, check the fluid and fill with ATF until level is at the top notch on the dip stick. Do not over-fill.

We had a Taurus & we had the same problem. It usually happens when the wheel is turned too far to the right or left & left like that after you shut off the car. Try turning the steering wheel to the right & left while starting the ignition. It always worked for us.

(turn E BRAKE ON) climb under vehicle and attempt and pass gears manually which incorporate your hand from transmission. it fairly is a small 4" lever that stands out of the top drivers component of transmission. it would click by all the gears( count sort the clicks as you pass by P,R,N,D,a million,2. Then lower back to park). in case you're able to do this which incorporate your hand on the tranny then it is your linkage. From change nob to lever. 2 Have somebody in drivers seat attempting to change gears jointly as vehicle is being rocked. in case you're able to do this it fairly is an trouble-free restore for a tranny problems. 3 If neither artwork then you definitely've slip bearings broken or plates are long gone and you will take it in or get refurbished tranny and turn your self

Three possibilities. First see the post about the steering wheel. Second the linkage between the keylock and the shifter is broken. And third, either you aren't pressing on the brake or that linkage is broken.
'nuff said?

Is the steering wheel turned and locked, and the ignition key won't turn? If so straighten it out by moderately tapping it with a closed fist or mallet or something. If not, I can't help ya.

The problem is easy to identify... go out to your car and look at the front of the vehicle... They wrote the problem in white letters on a blue oval then circled the problem.

Are you parked on an incline? If you are you need to just jam it into gear.
It might also help if you put your foot on the break pedal
