My wife went to use my car while I was out of town. She started the car but could not get it out of Park. Then when she shut the car off, the key would not come out of the ignition switch. The car is stuck. It will start but it will not shift out of park.

I took the armrest off and could see 2 cables going to the shifter. One goes to the brake and I can see it moving when I step on the pedal. The other I believe goes to the ignition switch but it doesn't move when I turn the key.

So what can be done to fix this?
