Can't push the button and can't getthe key out. Unfortunately the problem isn't in the shifter, it is in the safety interlock on the ignition switch, which is mounted to the steering column.
Out of curiosity...do you have to hit the brake pedal to move the shifter in and out of park? If so, that is another type of safety interlock and it may also be messed up.
