Is the engine running? If not your steering wheel is locked, turn the key as your forcefully turn the steering wheel left or right.

Most AT have a switch on the brake pedal to make sure your foot it when you move the shifter. There could be an issue with that, parking on a steep incline can also cause the shifter to get stuck.

Ha ha, I think this thread was pretty abrupt, funny, demanding in a way. Glad to hear car is working fine though.
