Page 2-38 of your owner's manual describes a possible solution for your problem. Your vehicle won't allow you to remove the key if the car isn't in Park. Consequently, if your key is in the ignition when your battery dies, your vehicle will not allow you to shift and/or remove the key. If you are unable to shift your vehicle into park for some reason, you need to use the Shift Lock Override.
"
To use the slot:
1. Verify that the shift lever is in PARK (P) and that the shift lever button is fully released.
2. Locate the override access slot on the upper right side of the shift panel.
3. Remove the override access slot cap.
4. Insert a key or screwdriver into the access slot, press in and hold.
5. Press the shift lever button and hold.
6. Remove the key or screwdriver from the slot.
7. Pull the shift lever into the desired gear position.
8. Reinstall the override access slot cap."
I hope this helps.
