This sounds like an issue with the selector fork linkages. Either that or the dog teeth are too worn out to hold the gears in place.

Shift lock override. You have to press the brake to shift out of park and this won't work if the car's off. If the car won't start and you have to put it in neutral, etc, putting your/a key in the slot should release the lock.
