1993 Oldsmobile 98 Automatic

I stopped on my way home two nights ago to get some gas. When I tried to leave my shifter was stuck in park. I tried turning the tires and it was still stuck. I tried rocking the car, still stuck. I finally got it to go into drive by being very violent with the steering wheel and shifter while pressing brake very hard. Later that night, and the next morning it worked fine. But when i went to leave from work it was stuck. For four hours I tried everything I could think of, undid the battery cables and redid them, nothing. Played around with the shifter and steering wheel again, nothing. Played around with the wires near the brake pedal, nothing. I don't know what else to do and I can't leave the car in the parking lot for my work any longer. Can anyone help me?

This may sound like a crazy question, but are the brake lights working? The park lock solenoid is actuated by the brake light switch.

Let me know.
