Are you on a hill or are the rear wheels trying to roll making it hard to shift? You pressing the brake too?

Check to see if the brake lights are working. There's a safety interlock between the brakes & the transmission shifter so that the brakes have to be on before this interlock will let you shift out of PARK. *IF* the brake lights both are not working, then the fault is the brake light switch up under the driver's dashboard. Replace the switch & should be okay. Also, not expensive or hard to do.
