It shifts once out of Park, back to Park from D, R and all else fine.

The trouble is getting there. The button will not depress? I was stuck at a gas station for about 20 minutes, before that at another stop for about 10. This just started today, no other issues like this till today. I did look at the manual and it did not help. How I got out was about near the 350th attempt to click the button while trying to make small circles out of the shifter as much as I could but with caution.

Any advice?
