I went to take my car out of park, and put it in drive, I had to force the parking gear, out to get it into drive, all other gears are fine, like drive, reverse, low, all others, I got it out of park, went to check on my brother, could not get it back into park, so I could shut it off, finally I was able to get it back in park.

it may be a shift interlock problem make sure brake pedal is pushed down from removing it from park, otherwise it may need an adjustment or the cable has stretched. Have a local mechanic take a peek at this.
