Presuming you've got and automatic gearbox: To be able to engage neutral there needs to be power from the battery. So either jump start the car or charge the battery, but you need to find out why the battery died in the first place. If you left lights on something like that then charge the battery by taking it for a long drive. If the battery goes flat again after that then there may be a problem with your alternator or the battery won't hold a charge, get the battery tested and go from there

How do you put a push button start car in neutral without starting the engine?
I can't say all cars have this, but a lot have a release at the gear shift on a floor shift. There may be a small cap over a pin you push in, some have a button on the top of the console. I would think having the key on or in the run position so that the radio worked and stepping on the brake would allow you to shift.

Why does my dodge Dakota not shift into gear It will not come out of park And the brake lights arent working either. Could there be a connection?
There is what is called a brake sensor. This sensor has to engage to sent a signal to the transmission to release the pawl so that you can shift it. Replace the brake pedal sensor. It is usually on the top of the pedal arm upward under the dash. This will also cause the brake lights not to work. Good luck.
