If your gear shift is locked into park, but the car stars and won't go into reverse, try unlocking the steering wheel. Turn the wheel back and forth to see if it remedies the problem.

i have a 1998 honda accord the gear shift is locked...
the brake interlock press on the brake to release it
If the gear shift isn't free at all then there could be a problem with the shift censor. If this isn't the case then the linkage in the transmission is broken.

The springs around the clutch plate have probably came out and locked up between the pressure plate and the clutch plate and locked them together. you need to change the clutch plate and have the pressure plate checked for damage.
the brake light switch at the pedel is bad and stop it from coming out off gear see you have brake light if you don,t that's your promblem
Depending on your transmission, assuming it is a gear drive and not hyrdo, the brakes could be locked on the unit, or it could be hung in gear, are you able to change gears using the gear shift ???
The most likely cause is the brake light switch has failed check if the brake lights are working.
If It Is A Standard Shift, It Sounds Like You Clutch Is Not Releasing. From The Information You Have Stated.
The overdrive button in a 2005 Hyundai Accent is designed to enhance fuel efficiency by allowing the transmission to shift into a higher gear. It should not cause the gear shift mechanism to lock. If you're experiencing a locked gear shift, it may be related to other issues such as a faulty shift interlock system or problems with the transmission itself. It's advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose the issue accurately.
you have the transmission locked in the " hold " for that gear. To get rid of it push the button on the automatic shift lever below the one you push to put in gear from park.
